A number of students in grades 7-12 from West Hempstead Middle School and High School recently presented their science research projects at this year's Long Island Science Congress competition. The event was held at Saint Anthony's High School in Huntington Station on April 17-18.  

Students in both the junior and senior divisions presented their work, and each was judged a minimum of three times. Science teachers Mary Evans, Virginia Pusateri, Salvatore Trupia and James Ypsilantis accompanied the students and also served as judges for other scholars presenting at the competition. The West Hempstead School District congratulates all who participated.
