One of the projects, from Centennial High School’s Prince Nallamothula, advances directly to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in May.

Nearly 30 Frisco ISD students qualified for the state science fair at the Dallas Regional Science and Engineering Fair and the Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair this year. Seven Frisco ISD students earned state championships, with their projects receiving first place in their categories.

Congratulations, students!
