Donoho Repeats as Team Champion at ESO at JHS 2012 The Donoho School of Anniston topped Kitty Stone Elementary School of Jacksonville to win the team title for the second-consecutive year at the 2012 Elementary Science Olympiad at Jacksonville High School on Saturday, February 18th. In all, over 600 students from 30 schools across Alabama converged on JHS for the 19th annual academic competition. See photos and highlights from this year's Olympiad on the ESO 2012 Final Facts page. And, view the over 300 individual medalists -- the top six finishers in each of the 28 events -- on our ESO 2012 Award Winners page. Finally, coaches will receive detailed information about their students' performances later this week by email. Celebrating 20 Years of the ESO at JHS in 2013 It began in 1993 with 4 participating schools, less than 100 student participants, and a handful of JHS Science Club members. 20 years later, our Olympiad has grown to 30 schools and over 600 participants annually, along with an army of student volunteers at JHS. The Elementary Science Olympiad at Jacksonville High School celebrates 20 years in 2013. We hope you'll be back for the competition and our celebration!
