Computer Science Fair

Our guests were incredibly impressed by the creativity and technical skill on display. A few highlights from the day:

• Category winners will now advance to the District Level Competition on March 19th.
• Special Guests: We were honored to host Keynote Speaker Dr. Debora Carrera (Chief Education Officer) and  Mr. Richard Gordon (Asst. Superintendent), both of whom spoke highly of our students’ innovative projects.

A “Mighty Congratulations” goes to our dedicated CS team—Mr. Rozelle, Ms. Lanpher, Ms. Omulo, Mr. Seymour, Mr. Gonzalez, Mr. Wiley, Mr. Minetti, and Ms. Randee Frankel. Pulling this together on such short notice was no small feat.
