***There will be an interest meeting in September and students will need to turn in a permission slip to be able to try out for the Science Olympiad team.*** 

Sponsors: Mrs. Marlow,  Mrs. McBride, & Mrs. Franks

Time: Practices will start mid-September. Students may practice before or after school – check teacher availability. Students are expected to come in at least once a week to practice on several events.  

We will have TWO teams, comprised of 15 students each.  The teams will be announced in November.  

***Commitments to competitions in March and April are required.***

If we win at regionals, only ONE team may go to State Competition.  

That means that the team with the highest points will represent us at State if we go.

State Competition: Texas A&M University in April.  ***Parents MUST accompany students to this competition.***
