On the day when COVID-19 vaccines rolled out across America, School District 56 honored two teams whose seasons were cut short by the deadly virus. The Clinton High School Robotics Team and Academic Bowl Team last spring won South Carolina Championships, qualifying them for National and International Championship competitions.
These events, like the Science Olympiad in which Clinton Middle School is the reigning SC Champion, fell victim to the COVID-19 cancellations in a virus-spread-prevention attempt. In fact, the CHS Robotics Team won its title and the next day, school was cancelled for the rest of Spring 2020. Classes did not resume until September; however, with January 2021 approaching and the virus’ US death toll at more than 300,000, there is no definite word that Academic Bowl, Robotics, and Science Olympiad in Spring 2021 will be staged as in-person events.
