After an exciting head-to-head game leading to a tie-breaker question to determine the winner; congratulations to Park Vista High School of the School District of Palm Beach County for winning the 10th season of School Duel. The runner-up team from BCPS is West Broward High School.
The tie-breaker question, which ultimately determined this year’s winner, was: Name the Broadway show, set in the 1950's at Rydell High School, where Sandy and Danny end up singing "You're the One That I Want."
