2021 High School Chemistry Olympiad Virtual Awards Presentation
Wednesday, May 26, 2021
7:00 pm—9:00 pm

This year, we had 332 students representing 29 high schools take the local Olympiad exam online through the National ACS Learning Center on Saturday, March 27, 2021. Arcadia and South Pasadena High Schools tied for first place overall while North Hollywood High School finished first for first year students. Sixteen students representing ten schools were invited to participate in Part I of the National Exam on April 17th online. The top 200 students nationally from the Part I test were then invited to participate in Part II of the National Exam on April 24, 2021. These students, as well as the top performers and teachers from each school with 10 or more participants, will be honored at our annual Educational Awards Presentation.
