Fox Network's "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?" came to the spotlight in early 2007.
On Jan. 29, Parkland High School's National Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society produced its own rendition with "Are You Smarter than a Teacher?"
Groups of five students or teachers signed up and payed $3 to compete in the event.
All proceeds went to the Parkland Education Foundation.
There were four rounds with 10 teacher teams and 12 student teams.
After round one, there was an even number of teacher and student teams.
The round before the last was a teacher playoff to see who would play the student team.
After the second round, it was down to one student team.
"Then it was student against teacher face off," librarian Carol Dickerson said.
Of the final two teams, the student team was comprised of Molly Diamonstein, Elena Mandry, Katrina Buckland, Kirby Perosa and Ross Bloszinsky.
Eric Roberts, Terri Plattner, Calliope Volikas, Alison Dogmanits and Alison Thompson were on the teacher team.
Questions were on general issues, along with sports, media and more.
"English, math, science, [the questions] were pretty general ... potpourri. Not things you would expect to have a lot of difficulty with," business teacher John Mondschein said.
At the end of the day, the student team prevailed.
