Varsity Quiz is a partnership between the Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas, Clark County School District (CCSD), and Vegas PBS.  Presented over twelve weeks, this fast-paced series is an academic quiz show for Las Vegas high schools featuring the best and brightest students from across the city. The competing high school teams field questions based on their knowledge of subjects such as history, literature, math and science. The Kiwanis Club of Las Vegas started this program in 1967.  During the regular season, 39 high school teams competed in two divisions. Awards are made to the top team of each division and the Harvey N. Dondero scholarship to an All-Star Player. This award, which is named after a distinguished CCSD administrator, was instituted in 1986 to recognize the student who best exemplifies academic achievement, leadership and sportsmanship. Please support our young scholars in their pursuit of excellence!
