DVSF 2022 Results

On Wednesday, April 6th, 20 HTHS students competed at the 74th Annual Delaware Valley Science Fair. The 755 students competing at the fair earned 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place at one of the 13 regional science fairs in Southern New Jersey, Southeastern Pennsylvania, and Delaware. HTHS students competing at DVSF were all place winners at the Jersey Shore Science Fair at Stockton University on March 19th. Sixteen of our students were presented with 33 different awards at the final award ceremony. Special Awards were presented by local Professional Societies, Organizations and Companies, and were awarded to students whose projects reflect the mission and goals of that organization. Most of these awards also included a monetary prize. In addition, HTHS students competed in 10 of the 15 STEM categories at the fair. Within each category, a team of judges selected a first, second, and third place project as well as honorable mentions. Along with a medal and a certificate, first place winners received $100, second place winners received $75 and third place winners received $50. The first place category winners in each grade level then competed for the bronze, silver, and gold medal and an all expense-paid trip to the Regeneron International Science Fair, held in Atlanta, Georgia in May. Congratulations to all our Research students! Below is a list of HTHS award winners:
