The Science Department received the Harold C. Shaw Award for their high quality academics and the dedication and hard work of the students. The Harold C. Shaw award is sponsored by the late Mr. Shaw (1915-1993), who was a high school science teacher and long-time OAS Junior Academy Council member.

A most-challenging prize, the celebrated Harold C. Shaw award is based on a rigorous group score of all participants from a school. At least four students present research, 80% must earn a Superior rating and any others must receive an Excellent rating. Congratulations to each student who participated in the in science fair and contributed to win this amazing award: Annabelle Boone, Megan Brandt, Keith Butler, Alexis Drake, Jessica Dusabe, Paxton Jecker, Noah Johnson, Libby Michael Klatte, Bennett Rau, Evan Sharbaugh, and Corrine Simpson. Keith Butler and Annabelle Boone said that they both felt that for all the hard work and hours they put in, it was nice to be recognized and awarded for this accomplishment as it was a team effort that made it possible.
