A few weeks before the end of the academic year, Lower Merion High School hosted the Elementary School Science Olympiad (ESO), a special event organized by twelfth-grader (and now graduate) Anwen Underwood as part of her Senior Project.

Each May, prior to graduation, Lower Merion School District seniors are tasked with completing a Senior Project, an experiential exploration of a topic of interest to individual students.
