High School Quiz Show: Newton North Competes in Semi-Finals Saturday

NEWTON, MA - Newton North High will appear in the semi-final round of "High School Quiz Show" this Saturday as it edges closer to the state championship.

The Tigers will face off against Marlborough's Advanced Science and Math Academy, having defeated Chelmsford High and Norton High in the first two rounds of play.

"High School Quiz Show" is a 16-team tournament-style academic game show hosted by local TV and radio personality Billy Costa. The weekly show features four rounds of competition, with the question and answer sections varying by stage. Each high school chosen sends a team of four into the intellectual fracas, a single-elimination bracket that culminates in the state finals May 21.

The state champions will then battle the winners of "Granite State Challenge," New Hampshire’s high school game show, for interstate bragging rights.

Belmont High and Lexington High will also compete for a spot in the finals on May 14.

Don't miss Newton North take on Advanced Science and Math Academy this Saturday, May 7 at 6 p.m. on WGBH 2.
