Brookwood High wins sixth straight Georgia science olympiad
Brookwood High School has dominated the Science Olympiad State Tournament for years now, but its latest performance was the best so far.
So good, in fact, that they got to pay off a long-standing bet -- and shave their coach's head.
Brookwood's science olympiad team has now claimed state titles each of the last six years. In this year's competition, they took gold medals in six events -- more than a quarter of the 23 total events. They took a total of 18 medals home to Snellville. Each team member earned at least one medal. (SEE THE TEAM'S FULL RESULTS BELOW)
The team will now be one of two Georgia squads to compete at the National Science Olympiad in May.
