California (South)

California South, colloquially known as SoCal, governs the southern half of California. See California (North) for the northern half. It holds a separate tournament due to distance issues.

History
The state has participated in Science Olympiad since 1986. It can claim 13 national titles, the most of any state (with Ohio also tying at 13), and 12 of them from Division C (with Ohio the runner-up at 6): one from Gompers Secondary School (Division B), two from La Jolla High School (Division C), and ten from Troy High School (Division C). Troy High School won the last 20 state tournaments in Division C while Muscatel Middle School won the last 7 state tournaments in Division B.
