On October 26, juniors in the Interdisciplinary Science and Research (ISR) pathway of Stratford STEM Magnet High School's Academy of Science and Engineering were presented with lab coats embroidered with their names to prepare them for their individual environmental science research projects. Additionally, Mr. Brian Harrell, ISR teacher, and Mr. Mike Steele, academy and executive principal, were also presented with embroidered lab coats for their hard work and support of the program and students.

The students and their project titles include:

  • Hossin Al-Gatrani, Analysis of Fecal Pollution at Cooper Creek
