(Jan 16, 2026)<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"720\" data-end=\"959\">The El Dorado County Office of Education is seeking community volunteers to help support local high school students during the 2026 Academic Decathlon, a regional scholastic competition that brings together students from across the county.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"961\" data-end=\"1238\">This year\u2019s theme, <strong data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1007\">\u201cThe Roaring Twenties,\u201d<\/strong> will challenge students to explore the history, culture and ideas of the era through a series of academic and performance-based events. Volunteers are needed to serve as judges and test proctors, with no prior experience required.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1642\">The competition will take place at Union Mine High School over two dates. On Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, volunteers are needed beginning around 4 p.m. to judge student speeches and conduct interviews structured similarly to job interviews. On Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, test proctors are needed from approximately 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help monitor objective and essay testing sessions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"2017\">According to the county office of education, community involvement is a critical part of the program\u2019s success. \u201cThe Academic Decathlon encourages students of all academic backgrounds to build confidence, communication skills and intellectual curiosity,\u201d EDCOE said in its volunteer announcement, noting that volunteers play a direct role in supporting student achievement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2324\">The Academic Decathlon program brings together students with a wide range of academic abilities, emphasizing teamwork, critical thinking and public speaking alongside traditional testing. Local educators say the experience often leaves a lasting impact on students as they prepare for college and careers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2326\" data-end=\"2597\">Community members interested in volunteering as a judge or proctor can contact the <strong data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2438\">EDCOE Communications team<\/strong>.
