Book Bowl
Sound School students are encouraged to participate in the annual New Haven Public Schools High School Book Bowl. Students are asked to read as many of the 10 pre-selected titles and become experts on the books. Students form teams of five and take a test answering questions based on the ten books. The winning team will represent The Sound School in the District High School finals. They will compete against the seven high schools.
