Academic Decathlon Team
Esperanza's Academic Decathlon team was established in 2003–2004 as a club and later transformed into an academic class in 2007–2008. In its first year of creation, the Esperanza High School Academic Decathlon team took home over 20 medals in individual events. In 2007, EHS took home the first place trophy for division three and was thus elevated to division two, and in 2010 the team won first overall in division two, being promoted into division one. The EHS team is currently in division one.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or team:
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
