Newton North High to Compete on High School Quiz Show

The Tigers will go head to head with Norton High School March 5.

NEWTON, MA - A team from Newton North High School will take on Norton High School in a battle of the minds this Saturday, March 5.

Both teams will appear on Season 7 of WGBH’s High School Quiz Show, 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.
