On Saturday, March 16, 2024, 66 members of HTHS’s experimental research club, ReconX, competed at the Jersey Shore Science Fair (JSSF) at Stockton University. Our students competed in a broad range of categories and presented their research to panels of judges for a chance to advance to the regional Delaware Valley Science Fair (DVSF) on a path to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
