Lakewood Ranch High School Senior Named National Science Finalist
Addison Shae, a Lakewood Ranch High School (LRHS) senior in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, has been recognized as one of the top 40 finalists in a prestigious national science competition.
This achievement highlights Shae's dedication to scientific research and places her among the nation's most promising young scientists. As a finalist, she can compete for awards ranging from $40,000 to $250,000.
The competition, known as the Regeneron Science Talent Search, is one of the oldest and most esteemed science and math contests for high school seniors in the United States. Approximately 2,000 projects are submitted each year, with only 40 students selected as finalists.
Shae's accomplishment not only brings pride to LRHS but also underscores the quality of education and mentorship the school's faculty provides. Her recognition inspires fellow students and the local community and emphasizes the importance of STEM education and research.
The final competition will occur in March in Washington, D.C., where Shae and her fellow finalists will present their research projects to nationally recognized professional scientists. The event will culminate in an awards ceremony, where the top ten winners will be announced.
Community members and local organizations are encouraged to support Shae as she represents Lakewood Ranch on this national stage. Her journey reflects the hard work and dedication required to excel in scientific research and is a testament to the potential of young scientists in the area.
