Region 6 Science Fair
Some GHS Students participated in the recently held Region 6 Science Fair at Louisiana Tech University all express pride in their involvement and accomplishments.
A total of 19 projects were evaluated by the judges. Students’ research interests were varied and most pertinent topics of interest to teens.

Most participants are members of the science club. Club president, Dominic Calhoun, as well as the school’s administration, believe that the participation in such events help to maximize the club’s set goals for the year. This also adheres to the club’s theme: “Who will do Science: If not you then who?”
Other ongoing goals are to increase the number of field trips, number of guest speakers, participation in Science Olympiad activities and partnership with Grambling State University faculty and staff scientific community.
