The Science Olympiad is a nationally recognized program for enhancing science education and interest in science. It is a science competition for teams of up to 15 students competing in 23 different events over the course of the day. Gordon State College hosts a Division C regional tournament each year for high school students. We typically have 14 teams from local (and some more distant) high schools participating each year. The activities emphasize doing and applying science. Teams advance from regional to state to national competitions.

Gordon State College will host a Division C Science Olympiad Regional Tournament on Saturday, February 24, 2018 on our Barnesville campus. A campus map and directions can be found here. Rules clarifications are on the coaches memo, on the Georgia site, and on the National site. Our tournament results are final at 5 pm the Monday following our tournament.
