The Mason High School and Mason Middle School Science Olympiad teams just completed a fantastic season. The MHS team placed fourth and the MMS team finished ninth at the state competition held Saturday, April 9 at the Ohio State University. Many of the high school Science Olympiad members coach the middle school members - which embodies the district's commitment to "Growing Greatness Together!"
"As Ohio is one of the most competitive states for Science Olympiad, placing fourth is an impressive accomplishment!" shared MHS Science teacher and Science Olympiad advisor Aimee Hansen. The captains of the team are seniors, Dennison Min, Kedi Hu and Anthony Wang and junior, Matthew Liao.
"We are really proud of the hard work our kids put in and many of the students who did not place still performed at their highest level of the year!” said Dan Little, MMS science teacher and Science Olympiad advisor, about the team who tied its best performance ever at state competition.
