The USA Biology Olympiad is the premiere biology competition in the United States.  Starting with almost 10,000 registered students from 40 states in 2008, the competition ultimately selects 4 students as 'Team USA' who will represent our nation at the International Biology Olympiad.  Last year, for the second year in a row, Team USA returned home from the International Biology Olympiad with 4 gold medals.   The team hopes to capitalize on this success in 2009!

Additionally, the USA Biology Olympiad also offers a 'Teacher Resource Center' to registered schools to assist teachers.  The Teacher Resource Center includes practice exams with answer keys, links to International Biology Olympiad exams, textbook recommendations, links to outside professional development opportunities and study guides, as well as a breakdown of the grading rubric and testing protocol for the USABO exams.

The USA Biology Olympiad provides an outstanding forum for aspiring biologists to learn and grow in the discipline through interaction with other likeminded students.  Take advantage of this opportunity to challenge your outstanding students and provide them with an opportunity of a lifetime.  For additional information, the program schedule and online registration visit: www.cee.org
