Welcome

  Established in 2009, the Peru (NY) Chapter of the Science National Honor Society is an organization of science teachers and junior-/senior-level students designed to advance students' knowledge of and interest in science through inquiry-based research.  Membership into the SNHS is limited to Honors-level Juniors and Seniors that meet certain academic and behavioral criteria.  Upon admission, students partake in a year-long research project that is designed, conducted, and analyzed by them based on what interests they have in the different fields of science.  Faculty members from the Peru School District (high-, middle-, and primary-school) serve as mentors to help guide the students along their research project.  Upon completion, results from the research projects are displayed and presented at the Champlain Valley Regional Science Fair in Plattsburgh, NY.  Through these SNHS research projects, members go above-and-beyond what is required in their laboratory courses and get to experience the true nature of science...being able to take ownership of an idea that interests them and then apply the scientific method to answer the "what's", "why's", and "how's" of the world around them.
