About
Originally created by the Ron Clark Academy, The Amazing Shake is a competition that places an emphasis on teaching middle school students manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct.
The competition consists of 30 fast-paced creative and unique stations that transform the Grimaldi Athletic Center into a giant obstacle course designed to challenge students with different scenarios. Previous events included a White House press briefing, guest on “The Tonight Show,” and more.
During that time, judges grade students on qualities such as handshake firmness, eye contact, confidence, and presentation. Top performers advance to the next level of challenges until there is ultimately one overall Amazing Shake Notre Dame champion!
The school champion has the option to travel to Atlanta, GA. to compete in the national Amazing Shake competition at the Ron Clark Academy.
