Science Olympiad involves mastery of test, lab, and building concepts in an array of 23 Stem events that change every year.  This has been an impressive journey for the students, many of whom have been competing since 6th grade as part of the award winning LOL Middle School Science Olympiad team.   Building on their skills, these avid Olympians worked tirelessly to start a team at the high school level – a team that has been in existence only three years.  In a field of nearly 50 teams, they debuted in 30th place in 2017, 7th place in 2018 and a phenomenal 2nd place this year. 
 
Thank you to our volunteer community and parent coaches who supported head Coaches Kylie Hall and Shannon Glorioso.  With new events being added each year and growing interest and momentum, we are always in need of volunteers to work with these dedicated students. 

Please contact Shannon Glorioso gloriosos@region18.org if you would like to become involved.
 
Congratulations to the entire team for your amazing                               efforts and performance!
