· Congratulations to our students in the Hills East & West DECA clubs who competed against 22,000 DECA students from around the world at the ICDC International Competition in Orlando, FL. East’s Sari Strizik won a medal for placing Top Ten In The World in her category of Marketing Communications, and was an ICDC Finalist, with an excellent performance on the exam and three role plays! #HHHCSD
· Half Hollow Hills is proud to announce that a combined nine students from High School East and High School West have qualified for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Phoenix, Arizona. Those nine students represent the most from any district in New York State that can compete at ISEF, which is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. The students qualified to go to the international competition by placing high enough at the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair or New York State Science and Engineering Fair. Their projects tackle problems like identifying a novel target for anti-viral therapeutics, creating a mathematical model of rumor/information spread, and detecting that an FDA approved cancer therapy causes increased migration (metastasis) of tumors. #HHHCSD
