1988-2017
Magnet students have been winning prominent national science, mathematics, and computer science competitions since the first senior class graduated in 1989. Blair's performance in the Regeneron (formerly Westinghouse and Intel) Science Talent Search has been especially noteworthy, with 46 Finalists since the creation of the Magnet Program, including two first place winners (1996 and 2015). Blair teams have won the ACSL All-Star Competition 7 times (1991, 1993, 2001, 2003, 2009, 2011, 2013) and the National Science Bowl twice (1999, 2016). 4 Magnet students have represented the United States at the International Mathematics Olympiad (1992-93, 1994, 1996, 2005/07), 7 in the Physics Olympiad (2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014 (x2), 2015), 3 in the Olympiad in Informatics (2002, 2005/07, 2010), 1 in the Chemistry Olympiad (2004), and 1 in the Biology Olympiad (2009). 11 Magnet students have been named Presidential Scholars (1997, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 (x2), 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014).
