The annual high school American Chemical Society exam was offered this Saturday and two Harper students, Hans Yu and Oren Draznin, participated in taking this exam. 270 students from all over the San Antonio area took this test which included 5A schools and private schools. I found out this morning that Hans placed in one of the top 6 places and Oren’s was in the top 10 scores of all the students taking the test. Hans will find out what place he won at an awards banquet. The first place prize is $200.00. Both students have qualified to compete in the Chemistry Olympiad which leads to an international competition in chemistry. Unfortunately, Hans can not participate because he is not an American citizen but Oren will be taking this test on Saturday, April 19 (before prom). Please congratulate these kids for getting up early (after the walkathon) and spending their day taking a chemistry test! |

The Harper Theatrical Design team, (Emily Eubank, Lindsey Pate, Ruthann Mounce) have qualified for state. They will be attending the state One Act play competitions in May. Results of the design contest will be announced after the 5a OAPs during the state meet.
