Okaloosa Schools Academic Tournament

Each year high schools from Okaloosa County go head-to-head in a double elimination format academic tournament. These standout students who represent their school display their knowledge of math, science, history, fine arts and literature, pop culture, and more to determine the tournament champion. Representatives from each team are then chosen to go on and represent the county as the Okaloosa County Academic Team.
