Who Are We

Founded in 2003, the South Windsor High School Science Olympiad is a group of motivated and bright students at South Windsor High School who compete in the nation's most prestigious science tournament. Every year, we assemble two teams and compete at invitational and state tournaments. Science Olympiad is challenging and requires great amounts of dedication and effort from every student. We give up our free time to study science because science inspires us and motivates us.

Our Mission

We push our intellectual limits in the pursuit of knowledge and joy. Throughout the years, we have won numerous tournaments due to the hard work of our team. Recently, our team has won the Connecticut State Science Olympiad tournament and represented Connecticut at the national tournament for the third year in a row. Our success is a direct result of the work every team member puts in everyday after school. We have also crafted a nationwide alumni network of scientists and engineers who advance the frontiers of science and technology everyday.

Achievements

The team has won 1st place the CT State Science Olympiad tournament five times and have finished 2nd 14 times. Our team has done very well at invitational tourmaments at prestigious universities, including Cornell, MIT, and Yale as well as representing CT at National Tournaments. We also won 1st place at the Brown University Invitational tournament in 2018. On December 14th, 2024, South Windsor was proud to host the inagural South Windsor Invitational, in which 20 teams participated and marked a milestone in our team's history

2025 Season

Our A team won the CT State Science Olympiad this year for the 4th year in a row, with a record score of 71. Impressively, the B team won 2nd place at the tournament as well. This beats our previous best performance, making the team a powerful force. We are proud to represent Connecticut once again at the National Science Olympiad tournament at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on May 23-24, 2025. We hope to continue being Connecticut's Science Olympiad champion.
