Program Description
The Math Olympics is a one-day event held in the spring, hosted by the Math Department and funded by the Bret Harte Community Club. The event is held after-school from approximately 3 - 5pm. For the first hour, students work in teams on math puzzles in classrooms which are administered by the math teachers.
