History
Johnson Central is traditionally a KAAC Academic Team. The first instance of Johnson Central competing at KAAC State is believed to be 1994, and has since amassed several Top 3 finishes in Quick Recall (including the 2009 Quick Recall State Championship) and numerous second place finishes in Overall competition, although an overall state championship still eludes them.
