Huge congratulations to Coeur d'Alene High School — Andrew Phillips, Caleb Toregenson, Noah Wigdahl, Conner Gallaher, and Gwen Bode — for earning a well-deserved 1st place finish in the Inland Empire Knowledge Bowl League!
The team topped 24 varsity teams from across Idaho and Washington, competing against schools like Gonzaga Prep, Pullman, St. George, Ridgeline, and more.
Coeur d'Alene High School competes in the Inland Empire Knowledge Bowl League (IEKB), a fast-paced, Jeopardy-style academic competition running from October through February. Over five meets, teams battle through three rounds per meet, answering 50 questions in just 35 minutes covering math, science, history, current events, and more.
The results speak for themselves:
40 out of 45 possible points
Undefeated until the final meet
Meets hosted at Lewis and Clark HS, East Valley HS, and Ridgeline HS
Coeur d'Alene High School’s Academic Team includes 22 students across all grade levels — freshmen through seniors — and every team performed exceptionally well, placing in the top ranks for both Varsity and JV.
We’re incredibly proud of these students for proving that academic excellence is a true team sport. Way to represent Coeur d'Alene High School!
