About


Who Are We?

The MVHS Science Olympiad club is a nationally-competitive team, attending annual tournaments around the country. We educate and inspire students in all STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines through hands-on activities and learning.

What is Science Olympiad?


Teams

Science Olympiad functions much like an athletic team, requiring preparation, commitment, coaching, and practice throughout the year. We have 3 teams (Black, Gold, and White), each composed of up to 15 members.

Competition

Our team competes annually in the regional and state tournaments, with plans to qualify for the national tournament. We also attend numerous invitationals throughout the year for preparation.

Events

Each of our teams competes in a series of 23 events covering: anatomy, chemistry, biology, earth science, engineering, genetics, geology, mechanical engineering, physics, and technology. Every team member participates in 3–4 events.

By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. Events balance scientific knowledge, process skills, and applications.

Collaboration

MVHS Scioly is built on community, teamwork, and collaboration. Each event is competed with at least one partner, requiring clear communication and cooperation between teammates. Our team strives to foster a supportive environment, dedicated to helping every individual thrive.

Why Join?


Community

Above all, our team prioritizes building a tightknit community. Greater than all the trophies and medals we win are the shared connections, laughs, and memories we make with one another throughout the season.
Whether it be ice skating socials to movie nights, MVHS Scioly aims to create a truly meaningful experience for everyone, even those new to the team.
