Ossining Sophomores Recognized for their Science Research

Twenty-three Ossining High School sophomores in the Science Research Program won awards at the recent Somers Science Fair, including 11 first-place winners.

The Somers Science Fair and its sister competition, the Westlake Science Fair, are the only events of their kind in New York. They provide first-year science research students an opportunity to present their intended research design in a formal setting. The Somers competition, which is in its third year, took place June 1 at Somers High School.
