The 2013 version of the Quiz Bowl held as part of Catholic Schools Week at St. Mary of the Assumption School is in the record book. Eight teams of four or five members from different grade levels began the competition with two matches taking place on Monday and Tuesday, semi-finals on Wednesday, and the champions crowned Thursday.

The Quiz Bowl is conducted in ten-minute sessions. Two moderators ask the questions. As the question is asked, each team of students has three seconds to buzz-in and answer the question, if the first team buzzing in does not answer correctly, the opposing team is offered the opportunity to correctly answer the question for the point.  The competition is single-elimination with the winning team going on in the competition.
