As the premier biology competition for high school students in the United States, the USA Biolympiad (USABO) enriches the life science education of nearly 12,000 talented students annually. It provides the motivation, curricular resources, and skills training to take them beyond their classroom experience to the level of international competitiveness.

Of these students, Angela Wang qualified for semifinals. This semi final exam was during our spring break, (and only open to US residents). Angela has qualified for this honor for two years now, and has represented our school very well.
Please join us in congratulating all of this year’s participants in this national academic competition!
