The national Science Olympiad program, which had its start 29 years ago, 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 6,800 teams in 50 states. Science Olympiad’s ever-changing line-up of events in all STEM disciplines exposes students to practicing scientists and a myriad of career choices. Thank you to Dr. Anne Clouser and her dedicated cast of volunteer coaches who, year after year, have put Chardon Schools on the map with this outstanding program.
