The school's formidable Quiz Team (Academic Challenge) is an actively competing club, representing the school since the mid-1980s. The quiz team won Ohio Academic Competition (OAC) State Championships in 2004 and 2006, NAQT Division II State Championship in 2006, and has won the local In The Know televised quiz bowl tournament in 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The team finished second in the OAC state finals to Northmont High School in May 2014 and third in the overall NAQT state championship behind Northmont and Dublin Scioto high schools. The program is among central Ohio's winningest regardless of discipline amongst Ohio high schools (academic/athletic).
