Each spring identified fifth grade students participate in a county-wide Science Olympiad. Patterned after the national science olympiad program, the competitions has been tailored to enhance the gifted programs. The competition is divided into three times for events, an awards ceremony, and a short lunch break. Each student selects two events to enter from a list of options for each time.
All students participate in the pentathlon during the third time period.
Events are chosen to complement the science curriculum, challenge student learning, and promote problem solving.
