Last week, we were notified that Sophomore Manan Shukla qualified as a semifinalist in the USA Biology Olympiad (USABO) Open Examination. As such, Manan’s exceptional knowledge of the biological sciences helped him score in the top 10% of all students across the country.

The USA Biology Olympiad is sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education, which first developed and administered this exam in 2002. The purpose of the exam is to help develop and train future leaders in the biological sciences.

Congratulations to Manan, and thanks to his science teachers for their support!
