Varsity Quiz 54th Season
|
Varsity Quiz 2023-2024We are getting ready for the 55th season of Varsity Quiz scheduled for the Fall of 2023. The Varsity Quiz program is patterned after a high school program that was being sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Greater Anaheim. In 1969 a delegation from that club convinced the leadership of the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas to sponsor a similar program in Clark County. The Southern Nevada program was named Varsity Quiz, and is conducted within the Clark County School District (CCSD). The initial matches between school teams are held at selected school campuses with members of the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas assisting as Judges, ending in December. The Finals are then held at Vegas PBS Channel 10 from January to March to determine championships and end with an All-Star fun match and the award of the scholarship.
The Varsity Quiz Program is a continuing partnership between the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas, CCSD, and Vegas PBS TV-10 more Varsity Quiz information Educator of the Year 2019

Club History - 98 Years of Service to Our Community

On December 4, 1925, the Las Vegas Kiwanis Club was born. Kiwanis meeting date and time was set for 12: 10 PM on Wednesdays and the day has never changed.
The first meeting was held at Las Vegas High School. The Kiwanis Club of San Bernardino was our sponsor. After that the meeting place became “The Beanery”, an unofficial name for the coffee shop at the Union Pacific Depot. Over the years the meeting location has changed but our mission has remained the same.
