Lower Merion High School

Lower Merion High School is a C Division team that competes in the Southeast region of Pennsylvania. It has experienced incredible success in its history, and qualified for nationals in 2003. It is in the same school district as Welsh Valley Middle School and Bala Cynwyd Middle School and receives students primarily from Bala Cynwyd. Recently, there has been a major push to diversify the team. As of 2017-18, the team included 43 members, 72 percent of whom are women or underrepresented minorities in STEM fields, a marked increase from 17 members and 29 percent in 2015-16. The team is defined by a democratic culture, with each team member voting on major decisions, co-captains frequently soliciting feedback from team members, an "open" invitational schedule, and a distinctive level of focus on underclassmen members.
