The Masterminds quiz show consists of two teams of students who face off on a variety of subjects that include: History, Math, English, Current Events, Art, and Music. The competitions take place throughout the school year with teams meeting by a draw system, with no differentiation made as to school size. The TV station donates $100 to each school each time they compete, for library replenishment.
The round two competition with the VMHS team will air on KRGV-TV on April 20 at 11:00 a.m.
