Our Mariners have navigated their way to another Regional Science Olympiad Championship! With redrawn districts and fourteen teams competing, we knew seas would be more treacherous and Frankenmuth and Bay City Western gave us stiff competition. Our strength in all 23 events was enough to pull us ahead and we now look forward to competing at the state tournament hosted by Western Michigan on Saturday, May 4th. Parents, be proud of your incredibly smart and driven children and educators know that our success shows that you have prepared them to compete and succeed in the world!
