WMHS Students Rank High in Siemens Competition

The Siemens Foundation has announced that three Ward Melville High School talented student science researchers have been named Regional Finalists and two students have been named Semifinalists in the 2009 Siemens Math, Science, and Technology Competition – a program that is often thought of as one of the most coveted teen science prizes. Congratulations to Regional Finalists Ruoyi (Roy) Jiang, Aneesh Sampath, and Kevin Zhou. Additional praise goes to this year’s Ward Melville Siemens Semifinalists Nevin Daniel and Cara Lin.

These students worked with mentors on a number of critical research projects, including ones dealing with cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. With three Regional Finalists, Ward Melville High School had the highest number of finalists in New York State. The Regional Finalists will present their work at either Carnegie-Mellon or MIT in November. The District congratulates all of the Regional Finalists and Semifinalists for their outstanding work. Best of luck to the Finalists as they advance through the competition.
