Sierra Vista Middle School’s Science Olympiad team earned the prestigious title of Southern California Science Olympiad Champions. This marks the fourth consecutive title for the team.
Sierra Vista’s team posted a record score of 38 points in the Middle School Division, beating out their competitors by over 65 points at the Championship Tournament held at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
“I am extremely proud of our students and our Charger Science Olympiad Community,” Coach Shaun Evola shared. “The level of perseverance and diligence in working towards our goals was truly a communal effort.”
This year, Sierra Vista’s Science Olympiad team comprises 19 students. They have remained busy throughout the season by competing in various invitational tournaments throughout the country. Notably, Sierra Vista even hosted one of California’s largest middle and elementary school invitationals, with over 70 teams competing in February.
Science Olympiad is a scholastic competition where students compete in 23 events related to various scientific disciplines, including coding, earth and space science, chemistry, technology and engineering and more. Each year, more than 7,500 middle and high school teams from around the country compete in multiple levels of competition, such as regionals, states and nationals.
Sierra Vista will move forward and join state championship teams from across the country at the Science Olympiad National Tournament hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from May 23-24, 2025.
