Lower Merion High School is a C Division team that competes in the Southeast region of Pennsylvania. It has experienced major success in its history, placing first at states in 2021 and qualifying for nationals in 2003, 2018, 2021, and 2023. It is in the same school district as Harriton High School, Welsh Valley Middle School and Bala Cynwyd Middle School, and receives students primarily from Bala Cynwyd.
The team is defined by a whimsical, democratic culture, featuring fun hashtags and occasionally Comic Sans, an "open" invitational scheduling philosophy, and a distinctive level of focus on first-year members.
At the 2018 National Tournament, Lower Merion received the DuPont Team Enterprise Award.
Team History
Prior to 2021, Lower Merion Science Olympiad's head coach was Michael Stettner, with assistant coaches Kimberley Arleth and Patrick Cronin. Sadly, in February 2021, Mr. Stettner passed away. Despite the tremendous loss, the team went on to win their first ever state title. LM Scioly's new head coach is Andrew Samulewicz, with assistant coaches Donniell Cooke and Susan O'Bannon.
