GCISD High School Science Fair
On January 11th approximately 100 students competed in a high school Science Fair. Entries from both campuses were judged by 30 volunteer judges.
21 projects were awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place recognitions across 7 categories. Please refer to the table below for titles of recognized projects.
Thank you to the volunteers who judged and coordinated the event. Kudos to Sonya Loughran from CHHS and Erin Smith from GHS for their dedication to supporting student success and for coordinating this effort so that students may display their work.
37 projects will advance to compete in the Fort Worth Regional Science Fair, February 16-17 at UTA.
Congratulations to our future scientists who will proudly represent GCISD.
