9th graders Maddy Mechling and Keely Lipka participate in the biology activity during the STEM Summit by Junior Achievement on Jan. 20. This was the first STEM Summit hosted by the high school since 2020. The STEM summit is an opportunity for freshmen to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers. Students complete tasks such as building a circuit, creating a water filter, combining chemicals to make elephant toothpaste, and so much more. This opportunity gives students insight into possible future careers. Photograph by Kate Ball
