Students were tested not just on test information but also on practical laboratory techniques! This exam tests them on their knowledge over the past years, from culturing bacteria to separating DNA.

This past Saturday we held our last CPR session of the year! These participants are now prepared to handle emergency situations involving analytical shock, cardiac arrest, major cuts, and even choking. This has been an amazing opportunity for our OSS family. Instead of paying a lot of money for certification these courses allow the same certification status while giving back to our OSS HOSA chapter. I would like to congratulate everyone who has taken any measures to become certify in first aid and CPR.
We are pleased to announce that the Orlando Science Fighting Orkkas Team was featured on the USA Fencing Facebook Page, we are so proud of their accomplishments in their first year and we are looking forward in watching them succeed! For a look at the article please visit;

Last week our school competed in the state science fair! This is an amazing accomplishment as it shows that our students research projects are the best in the state. Harshitha U. and Shrey B. gave it their all as they wowed the judges in their scientific knowledge of biochemistry and computer science. Most impressively Shrey B. placed 2nd in this year's state competition!!! This is an amazing accomplishment as not many students from Orange County place.
Our newly formed Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) team had an opportunity to participate in the State Convention last week! They were able to vote and establish communication between the other FBLA Districts and share best practices for their counties. More than 4,000 students participated to this huge organization.
On the first weekend of Spring Break, OSS students and mentors traveled to Lake Louisa State Park for their annual CMP (College Mentorship Program) camping trip. The trip was a huge success and consisted of many team building activities (egg toss, volleyball, canoeing, hiking, etc) and SAT/ACT study sessions.The students and mentors explored the outdoors and made use of the cabins for SAT and ACT preparation over a 4 day period.
