Congratulations to our Marshall Science Students, who not only did amazingly well at the Regional Science Fair but also honorably represented Marshall High School! In total, over 600 students presented over 400 projects, which were divided into 21 categories. Of our 20 projects, every single project won an award either by placing in their respective category or from an organization. 19 of our 20 projects placed in their respective categories and our students won $1640 from the Organizations/Companies represented there.
The first place award recipients have the opportunity to compete at the State Science Fair in mid-April.
