State Envirothon Results!

The competition was held Hocking College in Nelsonville, OH. On Tuesday June 4th, teams traveled to Lake Snowden Fish Hatchery for field testing. After returning to campus, the teams worked to prepare a five-minute presentation on a problem scenario based on the 2024 theme “Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future.” On Wednesday, each team presented to a panel of judges. 

Lynchburg-Clay High School Gold Team was the overall winner of the event, followed by Beavercreek High School in second place, and Port Clinton High School in third. The Lynchburg-Clay team will represent Ohio at the NCF-Envirothon in Geneva, New York at the end of July.
