Academic Decathlon

Caddo Magnet won the Academic Decathlon contest for Louisiana each year since 1983. This is the longest streak of any school in the nation, and the longest in the history of the competition. Caddo Magnet students have traveled to Los Angeles, CA; Anchorage, Alaska; Phoenix, AZ; Erie, PA; Boise, ID; Honolulu, HI; St. George, UT; Providence, RI; and Atlanta, GA.

Other awards

Their Debate team has won numerous state and national awards, competed in over 12,000 debates, received over 1250 trophies and more than 200 sweepstakes awards at tournaments all over the United States. The debate team has had 3 years in which they had a policy debate team ranked #1 in the country: 1997 (Andy Ryan and Kamal Ghali), 2015 (Calen Martin and Alden Connor), and now 2020 (Eleanora Lawrence and Austin Kiihnl).

Students participating in varsity and lifetime sports have won district competitions and advanced to the state levels. During the 2007-2008 season of High School Varsity soccer, the Caddo Magnet boys won the State Championship and were ranked as high as #2 in the nation by NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches of America Association). This is the first time, since 1996, that a North Louisiana boys soccer team has won state; moreover, this is the first time ever that a North Louisiana boys soccer team has won the 5A State Championship. Over 2300 people showed up for the game, which was played in Shreveport. They beat Woodlawn (Baton Rouge) 2-1. Their coach, Radi Baltov was named the Louisiana Boys Soccer Coach of the Year in 2008, and he continued to coach at Magnet until 2015. Nick Flowers, the 2008 Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year, and Steven Bush, the 2008 State Championship MVP, took over in 2015 and continue to coach today.
