​What is Science Olympiad? For the many years, Science Olympiad has led a revolution in science education. What began as a grassroots assembly of science teachers is now one of the premiere science competitions in the nation, providing rigorous, standards-based challenges to nearly 6,400 schools in 50 States. Science Olympiad's ever-changing event lineup provides a variety of career choices and exposure to practicing scientists and mentors.

In the words of a Science Olympiad alumnus: "I consider Science Olympiad the most important and influential activity I participated in during my middle school and high school career."  You can learn more about Science Olympiad on their website, and about extracurriculars at SAA here.
