General Information

Fairview High School is a 9-12 public high school in rural Cullman County, Alabama. Fairview is coached by Eric Vest. The quizbowl club president is Brett Hogan.

History

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. Fairview won its ASCA district in 1993, but the team did not compete in ASCA again tournaments until February 2017.

Dianne Bailey was the coach of Fairview's inaugural scholar's bowl team. Vicki Skelley maintained a lenghthy stint as the team's coach in recent years, but after her retirement in August 2014 coaching duties were taken over by Cold Springs native Eric Vest.

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. The last time Fairview won the Cullman County Scholar Bowl was in 2008.

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.

The members of Fairview's quiz team often gathered at Brett Hogan's house throughout the 2016-2017 season for cram sessions which created a stronger bond between the team and turned Fairview A into a force to be reckoned with.
