Texas is a member state in Science Olympiad. An early member of Science Olympiad, the state has continually seen a strong interest from schools across the state in Science Olympiad. A numerous amount of invitational and regional tournaments take place in the state. The state tournament typically occurs at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, from which two teams will typically advance to the state tournament from each division.

Notable invitationals in the state include the Cypress Falls Invitational, Rice Invitational, Seven Lakes Invitational, and the UT Invitational.

History

Texas Science Olympiad has been around since the first year of national competition in 1984, when Klein High School finished 11th and Deer Park High School finished 19th. Texas teams have consistently placed in the top 10 at nationals for the past decade in both divisions, with Beckendorff Junior High School claiming a national championship in 2014. Texas historically sent two teams from both divisions to Nationals starting in 2005, until 2018 when only one team from the C Division was sent to represent Texas at Nationals. Current strong Division B teams include Beckendorff Junior High School, Kealing Junior High School, Austin Area Homeschoolers, and Bonham Middle School. Current strong Division C teams include Clements High School, Jordan High School, Liberal Arts and Science Academy, Stephen F. Austin High School, and Seven Lakes High School.
