SCIENCE OLYMPIAD PLACES 5th IN STATE
OLYMPIADOver the weekend, Milton competed in the state Science Olympiad tournament at Emory University.   The top 24 teams in the state were at this competition.  We came in 5th place overall!  We tied our ranking from last year, but actually had a lower score overall (which is good in Science Olympiad - almost like golf). Last year Milton's overall score was 191 and this year was 177 (an improvement!). Below are listings of individual medals and ribbons. These events are combinations of all STEM events and even a LOT of literature and STEM events.
These students would not be able to do any of this without the support of all their amazing teachers and staff at Milton - THANK YOU ALL!
