Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the 30th annual MHS Science Fair. I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Joseph Harb, our Science Curriculum Coordinator, and the entire Science Department. The collaborative effort of our students, families, and Science Department made the science fair a great success. Individual subject specific awards were selected by the MHS science teachers and a team of independent guest judges from Northeastern University. Additional projects, by virtue of completing a detailed Individual Research Plan (IRP), have been invited to participate in the Region IV Science Fair at Somerville High School. This year’s winners of the Methuen High School Science Fair, Jacqueline Cassidy and Katerina Tsakirellis will also proudly represent Methuen High School at the Massachusetts State Science Fair at MIT.
