Chemistry Olympiad High Honors and Honors

Although none of our students were selected for the international team, we did have an exciting update on test scoring over the summer! We are proud to announce that six of our seventeen students made the honor roll list for the US National Chemistry Olympiad competition!

High Honors:
Kian Dhawan from Montgomery Blair High School

Honors:
Hrishi Bhooma from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
Hrishi Desai from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
Alex Wang from Poolesville High School
Eric Yang from Montgomery Blair High School

We want to again thank the families, friends, teachers, and mentors of our students. Without you, this inaugural relaunch of Chemistry Olympiad would not be possible. Also special thanks to Montgomery College for agreeing to host the national competition.

If you are interested in receiving updates for the 2026 competition, please reach out to Lauren Ragle at lragle@gwu.edu. Interested students can also investigate the USNCO coaching program (click here for more information and video tutorials).
