The National Science Bowl is America’s largest and most prestigious science competition for middle and high school students. More than 21,600 students from 42 states plus Washington, DC; Puerto Rico; and the U.S. Virgin Islands have competed in regional competitions. It is the only educational event and academic competition that is sponsored by a federal agency. Last year’s competition drew high school teams from Paducah Tilghman, Lone Oak, Reidland, St. Mary, Marshall County, Hopkinsville, Crittenden County, Gatton Academy, West Kentucky Homeschool, and Madisonville-North Hopkins. Gatton Academy of Bowling Green won the regional competition.
