EGHS Wins 1st and 2nd Place for RI in eCybermission Contest

From Mr. Rath- I am pleased to let the EGHS community know that two teams from EGHS have won both 1st and 2nd place in Rhode Island for the national eCybermssion contest sponsored by the AEOP (Army Educational Outreach Program).  This is a science competition that my students enter as it is designed to give students in grades 6-9 exposure to STEM.
