The Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School Science Olympiad team performed at the 2025 Nassau East Regional Science Olympiad competition, earning ten medals across five different events.
Competing against some of the region’s top Science Olympiad teams, the high school students demonstrated their expertise in challenges, including bungee drop, ecology, forensics and geological mapping. The students prepared for months and showed collaboration skills and a passion for science and innovation.
