Science Team earns top 12 recognition at National Ocean Sciences Bowl
The RMSST Science team has had 5 students competing virtually at NOSB Nationals over the last two weeks with the final round of competition taking place last Sunday morning.
Captain Elizabeth Huynh and team members, Hector Aguirre, Duc Le, Sydney Moodie, and Jackson Meyers, performed wonderfully in this year’s competition. They had our school’s best ever score on the Science Expert Briefing part of the competition and, for the first time, finished in the top 12 after the buzzer and team challenge question rounds, advancing to the elimination rounds. Their final placement was in the 9th -12th place group so they will be receiving some small prizes from the Consortium for Ocean Leadership. Congratulations to these students and their awesome coach Ms. Diana Kennen!

Students must stay home if they are sick and stay home until they have been fever free for a minimum of 24 hours. Additionally, students and staff are required to isolate for 10 days when they receive a positive COVID-19 test.
