Sierra Vista Middle School



Sierra Vista Middle School is a Division B school in Irvine, California. The city of Irvine is located about 40 or so miles southeast of the city of Los Angeles, CA. We compete in the Orange County Regional Science Olympiad part of the Southern California State Science Olympiad.

We won 5th place at Orange County Regionals this past year (behind Kraemer 2 by 2 points!!) However, our school placement was 3rd overall.

GO CHARGERS!! 

Friends, Enemies, and other relations
Our school has a historical rivalry with our neighbor: Jeffery Trail Middle School.

We have somewhat friendly relations with the other Irvine teams (Rancho San Joaquin and Venado), and other OC schools such as Brea, Ladera Vista, and Fisler.

Goodbye, Muscatel. You were a great competitor to compete against.

Our Program
At the 2016 Southern California State Competition, we placed 15th, with 361 points. This is an improvement from the previous year, where we placed 16th with 393 points. Jeffery got 6th.

Our program had 28 members during the 2015-16 season. We only have one head coach, two other assistant coaches, and a group of amazing parents every year. We have historically been the second most successful team in IUSD, behind our longtime rival, Jeffery Trail (who is our rival in almost everything). This year(2017-18) we have 33 members. We have an amazing support team of adults including, parents(we love you moms and dads!), head coach, and assistant coaches!

We almost always go to states, where we usually perform somewhat ok and have a lot of fun and learn a lot of new things!

Our practice schedule is everyday in class which is about an hour or so, with one tutorial meeting a week. We are free to make our own meetings outside of school for events that need more work.

For our leadership structure, we just select one person to be team leader. They typically don't have any power; all they do is give speeches every now and then. Its almost just a symbolic thing. Really, it depends on the person who is team leader.

Our support from our school sadly plummeted two years ago, since we lost our status as an Elective class, leading to reduced funding. For building events, the parents buy our supplies or we just take stuff from previous years. Fortunately, we have gained more support from our school and we have regained our Elective status.
