Arcadia High Students Win National Ocean Science Bowl

Arcadia High School won top honors this week at a national ocean science competition in Milwaukee, Wis.

Arcadia High School was one of 25 schools from around the United States to compete in the 16th Annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl held April 19  - 21 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, according to the San Marino Tribune.

Arcadia High School advanced to the final after competing in a regional competition earlier this year. About 2,000 students from over 300 schools participated in the science bowl this year.

The competition grilled contestants on ocean-based sciences in a buzzer-style, critical thinking-based team challenge.

The competition also allowed students to participate in a number of hands-on science activities. They also had the opportunity to tour science research labs and reserves in Milwaukee and they were mentored by leaders in the science field.
