Georgia

Georgia is home to the one of the largest Science Olympiad program in the USA, with 249 teams. The state is also home to the National champions (1996-2001,2003-2004,2006) J.C. Booth Middle School, and Rising Starr Middle School (2002). In total Georgia as a state has earned 10 National Titles.

History
In the very early years, Georgia had some turnover in national representatives, but quickly certain teams took hold of the top spot. J.C. Booth Middle School started winning titles as early as 1992 and has not stopped since, only finishing second in 2002 to eventual champion Rising Starr Middle School. In 2015, J.C. Booth disbanded their team, leaving Dodgen Middle School as the state champion, with Fulton Science Academy close behind.

There has been less stability in C. In 1989, Stone Mountain High School took their first trip to nationals, and earned a nationals trip every year between then and 1996 except for 1995. It was that year, 1995, that a new team, McIntosh High School, stepped up to be the new team to beat. In the late 1990s, they had a rivalry with Chamblee Charter High School, but McIntosh proved to have more staying power, winning their most recent state championship in 2002. Parkview High School, the state runner-up in 2002, took its place in 2003 and held it through 2007, peaking with a 9th place finish at nationals in 2005. However, in 2008, the current dynasty of Brookwood High School was established, and save for a Parkview renaissance in 2010, it has held the first place spot, holding off the current challenger Gwinnett.
