KAAC administers the Governor’s Cup academic competition. Governor's Cup was founded in 1986 as a way to promote, reward and recognize outstanding academic achievement.
Since then, over a quarter of a million students have taken part in the event. Governor's Cup has become the state's premier academic event, involving over 20,000 students, nearly 1200 schools, and thousands of coaches, administrators, parents and community leaders who see the rewards gained from encouraging academic performance through properly structured and professionally administered academic competition.
