The 18th annual Shoreline Math Olympiad was held on Sat., March 12 on the Shoreline Community College campus. Over 600 fourth- through eighth-grade students from 18 public and private schools in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park participated in this year’s event, and more than 900 people attended the awards ceremony in the campus gymnasium.

The college has hosted this event for the past five years in partnership with the Shoreline School District, Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, James Alan Salon, Chuck Olsen Kia Chevrolet, and Smart Service Subaru, as well as with support from numerous regional and local businesses. It is a free event open to Mathletes who want to challenge themselves with fun individual and team tests.

Bob Francis, VP Academic Affairs, and Steve Bogart, Shoreline Community College Math faculty, helped hand out awards, along with other dignitaries from the city, local businesses, and the School district, including Shoreline Schools Superintendent Rebecca Minor, School Board members David Wilson and Dick Potter, Shoreline Mayor Chris Roberts, and Shoreline Public Schools Foundation Board Members Ken and Jennifer Altena. Shoreline Community College Board of Trustee member Clara Pellham was also in attendance.
