The Oklahoma School of Science and Math (OSSM) is a residential magnet high school located in Oklahoma City. The school is open to juniors and seniors enrolled in high schools throughout Oklahoma, and provides an education primarily focused on upper-level STEM courses. Prior to the establishment of an OSSM quizbowl team, OSSM students were normatively allowed to play for their "home" schools (where they were still technically enrolled students). An official OSSM team was formed in 2021, and went on to compete in the open division of that year's SSNCT. In 2023, OSSM won the Small School division of the NAQT Oklahoma State Championship, becoming only the third official small school champion in the state's history. They were then defeated 360-175 by Yukon in an exhibition overall final.
