Newton County School System (NCSS) middle and high school students racked up the awards at the recent Griffin RESA Regional Science Fair. In fact, every NCSS student who participated won a first, second, or third place award at the event. Overall, six NCSS projects earned first place awards, 18 projects received second place awards, and eight projects won third place awards.

All students winning first place awards will represent NCSS at the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair at the University of Georgia on March 30-April 1, 2024.

In addition to their placement awards, several students also brought home additional awards of recognition from the Regional Science Fair. Alcovy High School student Mason Garrett won the Coweta-Fayette Georgia Tech Club Award in addition to his second place ribbon for his project. Petra Aten not only won first place for her project but also brought home two very prestigious honors—the Office of Naval Research/United States Navy & Marine Corps Award and the Broadcom Masters Award. David Byrke and Russell Danilchuk of Liberty Middle School also won a first place award and the Broadcom Masters Award for their joint project. The Broadcom Masters award is the highest award given to middle school students at the regional competition and all winners are invited to compete in the Broadcom Masters competition in Washington, D.C.  

The amount of awards earned by Newton County School System’s students speaks volumes about their talent, as they competed against the best and brightest students from Fayette, Henry, Griffin-Spalding, Butts, Pike, Lamar, and Thomaston Upson county schools.

“I am absolutely thrilled and so very impressed by our students’ success at the regional science fair,” said NCSS Superintendent Samantha Fuhrey. “To have every single one of our student competitors bring home an award is an outstanding accomplishment. I know for a fact, and have been saying for years, that Newton County School System is home to some of the most academically gifted students in the state. Our students continually prove in competitions such as this that they can compete with and out-perform the very best students the state of Georgia has to offer. I am so proud of each and every one of them and wish those moving on to the state competition the very best of luck. I know they will represent their schools and our school system well!”
