Announcements for the 2015 GPC Science Olympiad.
Check this page regularly for updates, as all updates and information are posted here for team coach's. Announcements will NOT be emailed. It is the responsibility of the coach to check for updates and information.
Mar 2, 2015: Results for the division C Science Olympiad held at Georgia Perimeter College are now final.
Mar 2, 2015: Remaining photo's from the day are posted.
Mar 1, 2015: A query came through regarding team composition for some schools. The National Science Olympiad site identifies the team composition as "A team may have up to fifteen (15) members. A maximum of seven (7) 12th grade students is permitted on a Division C team." No teams who competed had more than 7 seniors (grade 12) on a single team. Some teams did have 7 seniors, but none had more than 7 seniors on a single team. No single team had more than 15 students on it.
Mar 1, 2015: Scores are not final until Monday 3/2/15 at 5pm. The following files were updated:
- Geologic mapping top ten list: Duluth 1 was listed twice, Duluth 2 was first place and Duluth 1 was third place.
- Overall event score sheet: Thomas County and South Gwinnett scores for Bridge Building were switched in this file, however the top ten sheet correctly listed Thomas county as fourth place in this event. The file has been updated to reflect the change.
- Overall rankings sheet: based on the error for Bridge building in the overall score sheet, this moved Thomas county from 10th place overall to 8th place overall, which resulted in Eagles home educators moving to 9th place overall and North Gwinnett to 10th place overall. No other team places were affected.
Feb 28, 2015: We only had one evaluation form turned in at the end of the awards ceremony. Team coaches only, please complete the evaluation form and email to Mark Hollier (Mark.Hollier@gpc.edu).
Feb 28, 2015: Team coaches: If you are missing any ribbons from your team packet please email Mark Hollier (Mark.Hollier@gpc.edu) with a list of which ones you are missing and an address to send them to.

Feb 23, 2015: All online signup events now have time slots available to be filled by teams who have not signed up for a slot. I will continue to monitor this to ensure everyone gets a spot if they want one for all events. Until all slots are full I will not be adding any times after the last one currently listed. Online signup for device events ends Wednesday night. No changes will be allowed after that time.
Feb 23, 2015: Check the GPC and State specific event rules. GPC rules will be considered first, then State rules come after GPC rules, and if nothing is mentioned for either GPC or State rules, then National rules will be followed.
Feb 23, 2015: For online signup events: (i) If you have reduced how many teams you are bringing to our event you need to go to the online signup device site and remove any slots that you will not be needing. (ii) The new team, and some other teams still have not signed up and we only have a limited number of slots in the day. (iii) As directed by the GPC Science Olympiad website, you had to state which team will be attending which time slot. Any slots where teams have not been identified by a number (if you’re bringing multiple teams) will be deleted at 4pm today.
Feb 23, 2015: We have a new team coming to us this weekend due to bad weather in their school district issuing a non-transport statement for any school event.

Dec 12, 2014: Please follow directions listed on the Online sign-up for device events page when signing up for the device events. Also read the GA and GPC specific event rules page for information. The team of "LHS Science Team" needs to update their team name to the full school name as I do not know which school this is (based on the full school names it could be one of two that start with an L, but there is a slim chance it one of the other schools).

Oct 17, 2014: Please use this Official Roster form to list your participants. Email the completed excel file to Mark.Hollier@gpc.edu three days prior to the event and bring a printed and signed copy with you on the day of the event.
Oct 17, 2014: We are already working hard to prepare for this event, as I am sure you are also. If you know now that you will have any students with physical disabilities, please advise us now before we begin scheduling rooms for the events. Please note that we may not offer all (or any) of the trial events, depending upon the availability of personnel and rooms, since these are not required events. This will be decided as we develop the final schedule and you will be advised of our decision. The rules for the trial events may be found on the national web site.
Oct 17, 2014: When you come, please plan to park in Student Lot #6 (near Buildings “CG and CB"). This lot can be accessed from Memorial Drive (there is a sign, but it may be easily overlooked) or Lots #4 and 5 near building CF (off of Memorial College Drive).
Oct 17, 2014: Right now, we are planning on scheduling events (including registration) in buildings "N", "C", "D", G (Gym), and the JCLRC (Jim Cherry Learning Resource Center). Building "N" is the Student Center and that is where students will probably want to gather when they are not involved in events. The awards ceremony will most likely be in the Auditorium of the JCLRC (the library). It is a fairly small campus with covered walkways, so we hope that you will be able to navigate the campus easily.
