Science Olympiad
North Carolina Science Olympiad (NCSO) is a nonprofit organization with the mission to attract and retain the pool of K-12 students entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees and careers in North Carolina. Every year NCSO hosts tournaments on university, community college, and public school campuses across the state. These tournaments are rigorous academic interscholastic competitions that consist of a series of different hands-on, interactive, challenging and inquiry-based events that are well balanced between the various disciplines of biology, earth science, environmental science, chemistry, physics, engineering and technology.
Science Olympiad is available for students in 3rd through 8th grade at Saint Peter Catholic School. The school has done extremely well in competition, which they started participating in in 2017. At 2017 NC Science Olympiad, the school’s first time competing, the SPCS Middle School team placed 5th in the region and sent contestants to the state level in two events. In 2019, the Middle School team placed fourth in the regional competition; that means all team members advance to the state tournament. The Elementary School team placed fifth overall in the Varsity division and second overall in the Junior Varsity division.
