Science Olympiad Team of Educators

Our Camas School District has distinguished itself by involving over 250 students this year in Science Olympiad after-school programs. The following are just a few of the milestones set by the district SO program:

  • The CSD is the only district in the state with all of its elementary schools participating in SO;
  • For the first time ever, both middle school teams qualified for state competition;
  • The CSD was the only district with two middle school teams competing at state; and
  • CHS SO won every tournament this year including a first and second place finish in our region and the state high school championship over all WIAA classifications combined;

Additionally, the SO program demonstrated the success of project-based learning at nearly all grade levels across the district. This team also introduced/modeled the “flipped” classroom to many staff members district wide. This engagement in the process of continuous learning qualifies the Science Olympiad team as a CSD Dream Team.
