NCASA and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics are proud to announce the creation of the NCSSM Challenge Cup. This award will be presented to the best middle school in North Carolina based on their performance in the twelve major statewide scholastic competitions. The NCSSM Challenge Cup was created to encourage schools to participate in scholastic competitions and recognize those schools that compete and succeed.

Schools earn points toward the NCSSM Challenge Cup by participating and competing in the five NCASA competitions plus the seven Cup Partner competitions available to middle schools. Five points are earned for participating in a competition, and up to fifty points are earned for a top ten finish in the State level competition.
