Ten from SSHS enter Siemens-Westinghouse competition

Science researchers at South Side High School were busy this summer investigating a variety of problems ranging from health and medicine to producing green energy. Some even came up with environmentally friendly plastics that take less space in our landfills. While high school seniors are consumed with developing and submitting college essays and applications during the fall, Science Research students have the added task of submitting papers for the Siemens-Westinghouse Science Competition.

Advisors to South Side's Science Research program say they're proud to have 10 students submitting projects to this prestigious competition. This year, entries came from Alyssa Ehrlich, Brett Cohen, Kyle O’Neil, Ben Hawriluk, Greg Rizzo, Cathy Mackey, Lori Ying, Nick Aldana, Kelsey McKenna, and Kenny Karaivanov. Many of these students will have their work published in scholarly journals and one student is applying for a patent on his work. These students along with the many others who were part of the Science Research Summer Program deserve to be recognized for their hard work, dedication and achievement.
