Thirty-two Ainsworth High School students traveled to Chadron State College on October 21, 2026 to compete in the annual Scholastic Day contest. There were 960 students testing in the contests. Students took objective tests in different subject areas, performed a theater monologue, wrote and gave an impromptu speech, drew a difficult still life scene or wrote an essay during the competition. The Ainsworth students took a total of 45 tests throughout the morning. Thirteen students placed in the top 25% of their tests and earned points for their school. These points totaled the most points of the thirteen schools in Division IV. The divisions are based on the number of students in each school.
