Sunday, November 5, is High School Quiz Show’s Super Sunday, and we need you!

Nearly 500 students representing 120+ public and private schools from across Massachusetts will fill WGBH on that day to take a qualifying quiz.

The incentive?

The top-scoring teams will compete in Season 9 of High School Quiz Show.

Teams will arrive in 4 staggered shifts throughout the day and each team takes an oral quiz.
