#Garfield High School (400 23rd Ave.) won the Orca Bowl, a regional ocean science academic competition that is part of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB), in late February.
#The Orca Bowl, which took place at the University of Washington, tests students’ knowledge of ocean science disciplines through buzzer-style, multiple-choice questions and open-ended, team-challenge questions.
#Garfield will now compete against 24 other regional champions in the 19th-annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl on April 21 through 24 in Morehead City, N.C. The theme of the 2016 NOSB is “Our Changing Ocean: Science for Strong Coastal Communities.”
#Jonathan Stever coaches the Garfield team, which includes captain Declan Farr and members Allison Gibbons, Conor Gormally, Henry Hayes, Dane Lucas and Alex Miller.
