The Bay Academy SciOly team, like so many others, rose from very humble beginnings. Our first competition was the 2015 NY State Regionals, and though our final medal count was less than hoped for, our students were determined to come back better and stronger the following year. We returned with even greater confidence and knowledge, took 2nd place, and earned the coveted letter of invitation to the State competition! Since then, Bay Academy has taken 1st place for 2018, 2019 & 2020! Will 2021 be the year that Bay Academy heads to Nationals for the first time ever?
