2021 Breaking News! FIVE of SpringLight's students Qualified USABO Finalist/Camp!

All of them have studied BIOLOGY/USABO with Mrs. Webster.

Congratulations to the students!

Since winter of 2013 SpringLight has held USABO classes for students in 7th to 12th grade. Every year we have 30% to 50% of total students qualifying for the semifinals, and every year we've had at least one student qualify for the finals (as one of top 20 competitors in the nation). In 2018, 17 students qualified as semifinalist and two of them were in the national top 50.  In 2019 at least 28 of our students qualified as semifinalist--one third of those students were 9th graders or younger.

Most of our USABO students also receive a score of 5 on their AP biology test.
