Fairview High School is a 9-12 public high school in rural Cullman County, Alabama. Fairview is coached by the greenhorn Eric Vest. The quizbowl club president is Brett Hogan.
Fairview's first quiz bowl team was organized in 1981. The team acquired a vast amount of titles and trophies at area community college tournaments throughout the 1990s.
Currently, Fairview is for the most part only active in the low-level Cullman County Scholar Bowl, but it has attended Snead State Scholars Bowl in 2008 and 2010. Fairview held the championship title at Cullman County Scholar Bowl for several years, the last being in 2011, until the tournament opted for the used of NAQT questions in 2012. However, another likely cause for Fairview's poor performances since 2012 would be the hiring of Lee Henry at West Point that same year, which caused the Warriors to dominate the circuit, as well as push area teams to implement "true quizbowl" practices.
Unfortunately an extreme lack of good quizbowl ensued until Brett Hogan became team captain around late 2015, and he convinced his coach and teammates to attend West Point Rainwater Invitational as well as to begin competing at numerous tournaments outside of the county circuit, thus causing the team to improve drastically.
