Five St. Joseph High School students competed in the school's eighth annual Science Symposium. The students completed a science project and then videotaped a presentation of it. These videos then were evaluated by five judges at the University of the Virgin Islands. Judging was based on the content of the students' projects and the quality of their presentations. The participants received copies of the DVD presentations, certificates and awards.
