Earlier this year, five MCPS students–two at Montgomery Blair High School, two at Poolesville High School and one at Winston Churchill High School–were named Regeneron Science Talent Search scholars.
According to MCPS, “This is one of the nation’s most prestigious science and math competition for seniors.” A total of 300 scholars were selected from the U.S., Puerto Rico and 10 other countries. Each student was awarded $2,000 and their schools received $2,000 for each enrolled scholar. The MCPS Regeneron scholars and their research topics were:
