Tune-in to KDKA-TV at 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 18th and again at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 25th to watch Quaker Valley High School students compete in an episode of KDKA's KD Quiz, formerly known as Hometown High Q, an academic challenge hosted by KDKA weatherman Ray Petelin.
The Quaker Valley “on-screen” team is comprised of seniors Sienna Albano, Jack Miller, and Henry Zutter. Seniors George Lin, Jay Olawaiye, and Ryan Steinfurth serve as team alternates. The team is coached by high school math teacher Matt Welch and will compete on KD Quiz against teams from Ligonier Valley and Butler High Schools. This is the 20th consecutive year Quaker Valley High School has taken part in KDKA's signature game show. Quaker Valley has qualified for the playoffs of the show in 8 of the last 10 years.
The half-hour show pits three high school teams, which are comprised of three students each, against one another. Students must answer questions from a variety of general high school curriculum subject areas. The top nine schools in the competition are awarded educational grants provided by GBU Life.
