founded in the sixties by some guy from orange co. California.
Where a group of nine kids get together and study for a year on a designated topic (i.e. ancient civlizations) in hope to master 10 different skill areas. Incredibly hard competition at the national level and most likely california will win.
a joke is some states, and serious business in others.
a safe haven for the incredibly nerdy or naturally brilliant.

That guy's so AcaDeca, that he should get a gold just for acting the part.
I'm going to an AcaDeca meeting on Thursday night at 5:30-7:30 at the high school in World Language 107.
