The Palm Beach campus of American Heritage Schools has yet again distinguished itself at the Palm Beach Regional Science & Engineering Fair, solidifying its status as a bastion of young scientific talent. Remarkably, for the second year running, 15 out of the 30 high school students chosen to advance to the state science and engineering fair in April are from American Heritage, demonstrating the school’s dominance in regional science competitions.
Furthermore, American Heritage Schools celebrated a repeat victory by securing the Best in Show award once more, with the honor going to Bhav Jain, a dedicated freshman embarking on his first year of research. The achievement of all students who participated was notable, with many securing top four finishes across various categories, including seven first-time research students. These successes underscore the excellence of American Heritage’s student body and faculty, as well as their unwavering dedication to their research program’s high standards.
Iris Thompson, the vice principal of the upper school on the Palm Beach campus, lauded the students for their groundbreaking work in science research, which is on par with undergraduate and graduate-level studies. She praised their proficiency with university-grade equipment in the school’s BSL-2 laboratories, mentored by the faculty. Thompson eagerly anticipates the future contributions these young innovators will make.
The competition saw outstanding performances from students such as Chloe Barreto-Massad, Maya Behura, Lahari Challa, Aishwarya Deshpande, Siyuan Du, Samer Elhoushy, Rohan Gandhi, Kayli Harris, Bhav Jain, Samhita Konuru, Devesh Kumaresh, Maya Mohanty, Mili Mohanty, Kasey Moore, Amrita Nayak, Dishika Parikh, Aayushi Ranjan, Sarrinah Saif, Daniela Staton, and Catherine Zhao.
At American Heritage Schools, the esteemed Science Research Institute offers students the opportunity to conduct laboratory research aimed at solving global challenges. The Palm Beach campus is equipped with a state-of-the-art 30,000-square-foot facility for science research, pre-engineering, and robotics. Entry into this elite research program is selective, requiring a faculty nomination and a comprehensive application process, which includes the proposition and defense of a novel research project based on the latest scientific discoveries.
