WCHS Ethics Bowl is an academic team that competes in a Regional Competition in February at the University of Baltimore, Hoffberger Center for Professional Ethics. The National High School Ethics Bowl is an internationally recognized, exponentially growing competition. Ethics Bowl is a competitive yet collaborative event in which students discuss real-life ethical issues from a set of 15 cases, ranging from the ethics of ghosting to eliminating animal suffering. In preparing for the competition, Ethics Bowl members regularly engage with undergraduates from UNC Chapel Hill and other workshops put on by the Parr Center for Ethics. You will meet new friends and intelligent competitors from across the state, learn how to structure arguments, and expand your worldview through reading and discussing with people with different perspectives. All students regardless of experience are encouraged to try out, and new Ethics Bowlers will be paired with a student coach.

Science Olympiad is a national organization that hosts competitions with events spanning 23 areas of science. Throughout the course of the year, team members will work in small groups to study for test events, practice for lab events, and construct various builds. Starting in November, we will compete in several invitational competitions in preparation for the official regional and state competitions in the early spring. Last year, we competed at the Princeton and Columbia University Invitationals, and we placed third in the region and top six in Maryland. Students who have previously participated in Science Olympiad in middle school are encouraged to join!
