The Chemistry Olympiad is a multi-tiered competition designed to stimulate and promote achievement in high school chemistry. The local and U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad competitions are sponsored by the American Chemical Society. Each year, four students are chosen to represent the United States team at the International Chemistry Olympiad competition. The Chemistry Olympiad consists of the following four stages:
-
Local Chemistry Olympiad Competitions
-
U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad Competition
-
Study Camp
-
International Chemistry Olympiad
In 2008, six schools in the Midland Section area participated, with nine students moving on to the National competition: Alexander Carney (H.H. Dow), Matthew McCullough (H.H. Dow), Harsha Nahata (Heritage), Nilesh Raval (Heritage), Charles Baumer (John Glenn), Natasha Golder (Laker), David Maust (Laker), Ryan Lucas (Midland), and Adam Rule (Midland).
