The next tape date for the WEWS Academic Challenge TV Show is planned for next Wednesday, February 5th at 7:00 P.M. Both Scholastic Games and Academic Challenge are sponsored by the Nordson Corporation, headquartered in Westlake. Nordson has a long and proud history of giving back to communities where they live and work. Scholastic Games began its run in the fall of 1990, with its original format dating back to the 1980s. While the questions are continuously updated, this show is a true classic and is the longest continuously running program of its type in the region. Its focus on the greater Lorain County area has provided many growth opportunities for local students in high school and beyond. Academic Challenge is in its 56th season in 2025 and its platform has a wider reach to high schools across Northeast Ohio. The fast-paced show covers a variety of subjects and its goal is to allow students to demonstrate their academic knowledge and provide a way for families to come together to support their local schools. Join us in cheering on Avon Lake High School Academic Challenge this season as its participants compete in a variety of trivia platforms
