The Sandy Creek High Academic Team is one of the best in the state. Competing at the Georgia Regional Academic Bowl, the Patriot squad finished 10th overall.
The Sandy Creek Academic Team is Juan Smith, Alek Stec, Jared Newson, Chris Jones, Sydney Schulten, Charisma Harris, Tighler Allen, and Olivia Lohr, with coach Joy Bushong. Bushong was in her first year leading on the team, so she leaned heavily on captain Juan Smith for guidance and advice, and it paid off.
This year’s competition calendar was not without its challenges, but the Patriots persevered.
