Springhouse Middle School



Springhouse Middle School is a fairly new Division B team (started in 2013) which participates in the Central East region in Pennsylvania. They are an exceptionally competitive school who have made it to the state competition during all the four years they have participated in Science Olympiad. In 2014, their second year of competing, they received 1st place in the Central Eastern Region and a 2nd place in the Pennsylvania State Competition, qualifying for the 2014 National Tournament, where they received the first Dupont Team Enterprise Award and a 17th place of the 60 qualified teams. Springhouse Middle School is the first school in the Central East Region to ever represent the State of Pennsylvania in the National Science Olympiad in its 30 year history.'''

In 2015, their third year of competing, they placed first in the Central Eastern Region, the Pennsylvania State Competition, and 11th at the National Competition. Again in 2016, which was their fourth year of competing they placed 1st in their regional tournament, as well as the Pennsylvania state tournament and moved on to nationals where they placed 12th overall. They, unlike most other teams, are coached by enthusiastic parents.

Springhouse also competes in major invitationals such as Wright State Invitational and Solon Invitational, both located in Ohio, as well as the local Rustin Invitational. They also plan to attend other local invitationals in the 2016-17 year. Due to the immense competition and interest in the Science Olympiad program at Springhouse, the school brings two teams, an A and B team, with them to invitationals. Based on individuals' performances, at invitationals and through periodic testing, the final team is selected. This team changes through the years.

Springhouse feeds into Parkland High School, which competes in the C Division, and has recently begun qualifying for the PA state tournament.
