HRI Students Recognized at Austin Regional Science Festival (By Dr. Dennis Sheeter, Science Department Chair, AP Chemistry Instructor)

Our High School Research Initiative students had a good showing at The Austin Energy Regional Science Festival , one of Texas’ largest regional science fairs with almost 3,000 students participating. It encourages and rewards innovative student research and provides scientists, engineers and other professionals a chance to volunteer in the community.

St. Michael's is one of only four Austin-area high schools in the program, which is funded by a NIH Science Education Partnership Award. ​“The pioneering HRI program provides high school students the opportunity to initiate and engage in real-world research experience with faculty and graduate students at The University of Texas at Austin and potentially experience similar gains,” as stated on the College of Natural Sciences website.

Congratulations to the following students. I look forward to our fourth year in the program next term.
