Congratulations to the MS Science Olympiad Team!

The team delivered a stellar performance at the Regional Tournament on Saturday, securing 6th place out of 17 teams and earning a coveted spot at the State Tournament at NC State University on April 25-26. 

Now in its fourth year of competition, the team showcased remarkable skill, focus, and determination.
