Holy Cross hosted its 12th annual Science & Engineering Fair on Saturday, January 14. Professors from local universities, engineers from local firms, and staff from local medical facilities volunteered their time to evaluate each project and to award winners in various categories, ranging from Microbiology to Physics. 46 projects were chosen to compete at the Greater New Orleans Science & Engineering Fair at Tulane University in February. Mrs. Tara Lavender and Dr. Katherine Schilling (Science Fair coordinators) and the entire HC Science department would like to thank all the students who participated in this event and all the parents who supported their sons’ efforts in producing excellent projects!
