Science Team

The Science Team gives Weston High students the opportunity to meet with and compete against students from the 14 area high schools that comprise the West Suburban Science League. Each of the 5 League competitions gives students the opportunity to put their interest in science to work doing activities related to biology, chemistry, and physics. The Science Team season culminates with the State Science Olympiad in March.
