The Los Angeles Rams introduced the Academic Challenge in 2017 featuring LAUSD Varsity High School football teams from across the LA-region. To kick off the challenge, each varsity program submits their team’s cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) at the beginning of the fall semester in August and participants in a character development session in which the student-athletes discuss the topics of leadership, education and professionalism. Following the session, all participants receive a Rams-branded school planner for the academic year. At the end of the Fall semester in December, the teams re-submit their cumulative GPA’s and the schools with the highest GPA and most improved GPA are named the winners of the Rams Academic Challenge.
