The Fulton Science Academy Private School Science Olympiad Team brought home the second place trophy from the Regional Science Olympiad Tournament held on Saturday, February 13 at the University of North Georgia in Oakwood. Fifteen teams competed in the tournament, including FSA’s perennial rival Dodgen Middle School from Marietta, who scored eight fewer points than FSA to capture the first place title. FSA team members earned over 70 medals at the competition, with each of the 30 team members contributing at least one medal-winning performance.
Head Coaches Pam Walsh and Gloria Stathos were pleased with the team’s performance. “Our students put in long hours to prepare for this tournament,” said Pam Walsh. “We hold both week night and weekend practices at this time of year.” Gloria Stathos said, “We’re especially proud of our B team who placed third in the tournament. Unfortunately, tournament rules only allow one team from each school to be awarded a trophy and move on to the State Tournament, so even though they performed better than other schools, they will not be able to compete. But, on the other hand, our future looks very bright as many of these team members are 6th and 7th graders and will be back to compete with us next year.”
