Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tom Rogers stated, “We’re so proud of the students in our science research program, and the wonderful recognition of our two finalists is the product of their intellect and hard work, great teaching, and amazing external partnerships. Their accomplishment is proof that young scientists can make extraordinary contributions.”
