CHS students place well at PJAS state competition
More stories from Amanda Corrao
Carlisle Area School District performed really well at the state competition of the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Sciences.
On May 18, 18 of our students scientists competed at the PJAS state competition at Penn State University. Out of 5,000 students from across the state, and 26 different scientific categories, the Carlisle Area School District had a fantastic showing. We had 11 first place finishes, 6 second place awards and one third place finish. Karina Ciocca and Kaitlyn Dworak made in impression with perfect scores for the both of them, a very rare feat. Dworak also won the PJAS Director’s award for her presentation. When you see these students, please take note of their dedication and time as well as their achievements!

Its awesome to see that Carlisle High doesn’t only have incredible athletes, but students dedicated to the sciences as well. Congratulations on you accomplishments!

Wow, Carlisle is so well rounded. From the arts to sciences, we win so many things- and some of these students are involved with both facets of the school and are honors students as well. It is so amazing to see all that Carlisle students accomplish!

Holy cow these students must be the best of the best. I cannot believe how amazing they did. I feel somehow attached to this group, I don’t know why, but this article just reminded me of something from my past and it made me feel like I was almost a part of this. Maybe it was coincidence? Maybe we will never know…
