Quaker Valley's KD Quiz Team was successful in their attempt to qualify for KDKA's KD Quiz Semifinals by winning their quarterfinal playoff matchup which aired on KDKA on May 11. You can watch a replay of the episode on Saturday, May 18 at 11:30 a.m. on KDKA. KD Quiz is an academic challenge hosted by KDKA chief meteorologist Ray Petelin.
The Quaker Valley team earned 260 points while defeating South Park and Butler, who was the defending KD Quiz Champion! This the 7th time in the last 10 years that Quaker Valley has reached the Semifinal Round of the show. In addition, Quaker Valley has made the KD Quiz Playoffs 9 times in the last 11 years!
The Quaker Valley “on-screen” team is comprised of seniors Brahm Gianiodis, Oliver Graham, and William Musial. Seniors Holly Collins, Aidan Carver, and Sydney Earlewine serve as team alternates. The team is coached by high school math teacher Matt Welch. With this win, Quaker Valley has secured a grant from GBU Life and will now move into the High Q Semifinals in June.
