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:
“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Is my team ploughing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
