Science Olympiad Team Takes 1st in State

Submitted by tyler.lewis on

The Science Olympiad team placed first overall for the second year in a row. The kids worked super hard (most of them were new to this), so this is quite the accomplishment! Science Olympiad is a catch all competition that includes events in science, math, technology, engineering, and even music and technical writing for some events. The team doing well is a reflection of the whole school, not just the science department - thank you for all of your support. 

Nationals is in a month from May 18th-22nd.
