[quote=Anonymous]Ah yes, SO at TJ... so low profile and unimportant. From the 2013 newspaper:

https://www.tjtoday.org/8340/showcase/science-olympiad-team-introduces-new-application-process/
[i]
As opposed to last year, when only an application was needed, the club now mandates the students complete an online application and parent survey form and get a teacher recommendation, as well as take a diagnostic test to be considered for membership.
The new application process will be used to evaluate the student’s behavior, devotion in science and potential for benefiting the club, factors that will greatly influence the constituents of this year’s team.
“I hope that the students gain a rare and intrinsic appreciation for science and its unsolved mysteries by participating in Science Olympiad,” Park said.
Science Olympiad is one of the most distinguished science competitions in the nation. Teams of 15 students compete in events that encourage scientific thinking and application through spectrum of scientific fields, including anatomy and water quality.
“I joined Science Olympiad when I was in fourth grade,” sophomore Abha Agrawal said. “Science Olympiad gives me the chance to learn and participate in STEM fields that interest me while maintaining a high level of teamwork.”
The team, having won the state-level competition last year, is planning on another stellar year with great results, a goal that requires great participation and responsibility from all team members.[/i][/quote]
