TO RECOGNIZE AND APPLAUD THE CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE OLYMPIAD TEAM AND ITS COACHES ON CAPTURING THE 2017 SCIENCE OLYMPIAD DIVISION C STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the Clinton High School Science Olympiad team has continued their history of victory at the state championship by winning their eighth title in nine years at the Newberry College-hosted event; and
Whereas, at the state competition, the results of their hard work were as clear as their diligently-honed minds. CHS won first place in multiple events, including Remote Sensor, Write It Do It, Helicopter, Forensics, Rocks and Minerals, Experimental Design, Robotic Arm, Astronomy, Electric Vehicle, Dynamic Planet, and Towers. Of the over twenty events, Clinton placed within the top six in eighteen; and
Whereas, this win has also earned Clinton High School the right to travel to Dayton, Ohio, along with the Clinton Middle School team, to participate in the national competition in May; and
Whereas, offering interscholastic academic competition, the Science Olympiad focuses on events in biology, earth science, chemistry, physics, problem solving, and technology. The state and national tournaments consist of a series of twenty-three individual and team events, with a balance of events requiring knowledge of scientific facts, concepts, processes, skills, and science applications; and
Whereas, the Science Olympiad is a national nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education and increasing student interest in science, while providing recognition of outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. These goals are accomplished through classroom activities, research, training workshops, and the encouragement of intramural, district, regional, state, and national tournaments; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in commending the Clinton High School Science Olympiad team on its latest victory, and the members look with interest toward learning of the continued success of the team's fine young scholars. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and applaud the Clinton High School Science Olympiad team and its coaches on capturing the 2017 Science Olympiad Division C State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Principal Maureen Tiller and Coach Michael Mack.
