Our Middle School Varsity Science Olympiad team competed in the North Carolina Charlotte Regional Tournament on March 21, 2026, at Governors’ Village STEM Academy.
The event brought together public and private schools from Cabarrus, Union, and Mecklenburg counties. Country Day students earned several top-five finishes across multiple events and represented the school well throughout the day.
We are proud of the preparation, focus, and teamwork demonstrated by our students over the course of the season and at the competition.
