LEVITTOWN, NY — The Division Avenue High School Science Olympiad team’s years-long success continues again this year, as it secured an invitation to represent the school at the state finals.

The team took third place at the Nassau East Regional, where 32 of the team’s 38 students also won at least one medal. The team’s placement granted them their 15th consecutive invitation to compete at the state finals on March 17 and 18 in Syracuse. The team competed under the advisement of science teacher Gerard Marzigliano.

“It is a true testament to our department that we have provided strong lessons to our students year after year,” Marzigliano said.
