Shola Places 1st at State Competition

Tsering Shola earned a trip to the International Science and Engineering Fair in Los Angeles after qualifying at the Washington State Regional Science Fair on March 11. She also won first place in the biomedical and health sciences division at the state fair on April 1.

Tsering Shola is making waves with her hearing research.

In March, she won honors at two science fairs, which included an $80,000 scholarship and a spot at the prestigious Intel Science and Engineering Fair, known as ISEF, which runs from Sunday, May 14 to Friday, May 19.

Shola, a sophomore at Camas High School, won the Washington Regional Science Fair in early March, and then took first place in biomedical and health sciences at the state fair on April 1.

Shola, 16, became intrigued by hearing loss research after being diagnosed with sensoral neural hearing loss as a young child. Read more at the CW Post Record

CHS Student Art Gallery Exhibit

Camas Public Library’s Second Story Gallery is featuring “Our Point of View,” a collection of works by the Advanced Photography students at Camas High School, through April 29. These 42 photographs, taken by nine students, were selected through a juried style selection process involving teachers from the CHS Arts Department.  “Our teachers had a difficult job wading through more than 200 submissions,” said photography teacher Doug Huegli.

The photos were unveiled at the April 7th “First Friday Art Walk” in Downtown Camas.  Four students [pictured above] made it back early from spring break early for the event: Sophomores Kelsey Lawrence, Allyssa Heilbrun, Hunter Wade, and Senior Alexis Royal.  The display will be open to the public through April 29 at which time students will submit their images for an AP portfolio review.

The Second Story Gallery is open from 10 AM – 8 PM Mon – Wed, 10 AM – 6 PM Thurs – Sat, and is closed on Sunday.
