The American Academic Challenge was a national championship event for high schools that ran at least three times in the mid-90s (1993-1995) and was operated by sometime [[National Academic Championship]] staffer [[Brooks Sanders]]. It may have also occurred before or after that period, but such information is unknown.

This tournament trophy consisted of a one-foot-tall faux-stone pyramid topped by a large brass eagle that weighed forty pounds, and was clearly the best trophy ever handed out at a high school national.

The unique qualification method involved both submitting an application which described past tournament performance and writing an essay called "Give Back to America."
