Homeroom Locations
Homerooms must be kept clean and must be left in the same condition as you found them. If the Ohio Science Olympiad state office is contacted by an Ohio State building coordinator regarding the cleanliness of your room, your team will be placed on probation should the team return next year. Please take all of your trash with you instead of leaving it in the room or hallway.
Help Ohio Science Olympiad remain in good standing with the university!
