Student Competitions

2024-2025 Events

In cooperation with our many community partners, the Ventura County Office of Education Student Competitions Department provides, promotes, and supports environments that result in world-class learning by hosting the Ventura County Science Fair, Mock Trial, Academic Decathlon, Impact on Education Awards, Teacher of the Year program, and more.

Spreading the excitement of exploration, learning, and growing is a cooperative education effort. Without the help and support of our sponsors, volunteers, parents, and teachers, these worthwhile events would not be possible.
