Delaware County Hi-Q Academic Quiz Competition (Delco Hi-Q)

Delco Hi-Q is the oldest continuous academic quiz competition in the United States. Twenty-one Delaware County high schools participate in Delco Hi-Q. Each school team is composed of ten students and each school hosts one contest during the standard season.

The Hi-Q academic competition began in Delaware County, PA as a community relations program of Scott Paper Co in 1948. The success of Scott’s Hi-Q in Delaware County led Scott Paper to introduce the program across the country. The competition expanded in 1976 to Washington State, in 1977 to Wisconsin/Michigan, in 1982 to Maine, in 1984 to Arkansas, and in 1987 to Alabama.

After the merger of Scott Paper with Kimberly-Clark Corp. in 1997, Kimberly-Clark Corporation-Chester Operations, became the primary sponsor and the twenty-one area high schools began financially contributing to the program.

Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union joined Delco Hi-Q as a primary corporate sponsor in 2004 and has made a long-term commitment to strengthen and sponsor the program and the Partners in Education Celebration. Richard V. Durante, Jr.. (Rick) is Director of Delco Hi-Q for the 2006-2007 season and is Vice President of Education at Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union. He has been involved with Delco Hi-Q since 2004.

The Delaware County Chamber Foundation is the primary fundraiser for Delco Hi-Q. Delaware County Intermediate Unit provides program management and production support.
