Palm Desert Campus hosts 2019 Charles and Priscilla Porter Academic WorldQuest Competition
The 14th annual Charles and Priscilla Academic WorldQuest Competition, which tests teams of high school students’ knowledge of international affairs, took place in early February at Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus.
Competition topics included: How to Deal with North Korea, Global Refugee and Migration Crisis, Great Decisions, Space Policy and the World Trade Organization.
Each year, both public and private high schools compete for scholarships and the chance to compete nationally in Washington, D.C. Teams consist of four high school students and a coach.
This year’s competition, which was moderated by Sarah Trott, anchor at KESQ News Channel 3, included 12 Coachella Valley high schools. Students from Palm Desert High School were the winners.
