Science Olympiad is one of the premier academic clubs at James S. Rickards High School. Our Science Olympiad team is one of the top teams in the state of Florida.  We are currently the State Runner Up (2021-2022) and were State Champions in 2020-2021, National Champions in Gravity Vehicle (2020-2021), along with being Regional champions for the past four years (2019-2022).   We have been invited to compete in the National Tournament for the past two years, along with several highly competitive invitational tournaments.  In 2021, two of our ninth-grade students earned scholarship money for college when they won Gravity Vehicle at the National Tournament. 

We have designed our organization to be student driven, which not only fosters teamwork and leadership skills, it also provides students with opportunities to train and compete in various science events, including study, building, inquiry, and lab events. Students also organize and run our virtual Invitational tournament each year.
