American Heritage School #1 in Palm Beach County Science & Engineer Fair
#1 in Palm Beach County Science & Engineer Fair
American Heritage Schools
American Heritage Schools, Palm Beach campus, received the most awards, 36, at the Palm Beach Regional Science & Engineering Fair, making us the #1 school in the county. Seven of the students received first place and five placed second. All 10 high school student award winners and one junior high first place winner will be moving forward to the State competition. The county fair was virtual this year, so students were judged on a six minute video presentation. They had to be as detailed as possible, as there wasn’t a chance for them to clarify or answer any questions the judges might have had.
Below is a list of the District winners who will advance to the State Competition (SSEF) in March plus our 3rd, 4th, and Special Awards winners
