Galway Central School District has a longstanding history of producing excellent scientists, and it stems in part from Joseph Henry Elementary School and the annual Science Fair. Every year, our curious students ask questions about the world around them, develop hypotheses, and conduct experiments to uncover the truth. 

Our young scientists did an amazing job and worked really hard. Their projects were clever, creative, and illuminating. 

Congratulations to the Winners!
