The Knoxville School Board approved a request for an Academic Club. Knoxville School District Business Manager Craig Mobley spoke with KNIA/KRLS News about the Club.

“This has been something that has been going on for a couple of years now and we have had a staff member that has been in charge of it. The club will go to different contests and the contests are like trivia events that test the student’s knowledge of many different subjects. The staff that is in charge of the club wanted the club to be recognized as an official district club and activity and started the process and that is what the board approved.”

The Academic Club will be open to all Knoxville High School students and will compete in several area competitions starting this school year.
