DHS Decathletes Shine at the 2026 SoCal Private Schools Academic Decathlon
We are thrilled to announce the outstanding results of this year’s Academic Decathlon competition! Our three teams and two alternates earned an incredible 68 individual medals. Team 3 proudly earned the bronze medal in Division 3, while Team 1 captured the gold medal in Division 1. On top of that, Team 1 claimed the overall championship title and will advance to the state competition. The celebration doesn’t stop there! Our decathletes also took first place in the SuperQuiz, and seniors Andrew Gharibian, Sevag Vakian, and Sevag Markarian swept the top three individual scores among all competitors — an exceptional accomplishment.
None of this remarkable success would have been possible without the dedication and leadership of our phenomenal decathlon coach, Mrs. Hasholian. Mrs. Hasholian, your unwavering commitment to this program is truly inspiring, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do. We are immensely proud of every one of our decathletes and wish Team 1 the very best as they prepare to compete at the state championship. Go team!
