Emilie Baldwin, Zachary Kim and Waverly Shenoy present their science projects at the 2026 LISEF.

The Locust Valley Central School District is proud to celebrate the achievements of our young scientists at the 2026 Long Island Science and Engineering Fair (LISEF).

Representing our community with distinction in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge were Emilie Baldwin, Zachary Kim and Waverly Shenoy. Each of these students demonstrated an impressive level of scientific inquiry and dedication to their research.

Emilie Baldwin received an honorable mention for her innovative project on water filtration techniques. Notably, this marks the second consecutive year that a project from Locust Valley Middle School has earned an honorable mention at this prestigious regional competition.

This sustained success is a testament to the hard work of our students and the high caliber of our science programs. Congratulations to Emilie, Zachary and Waverly on their remarkable accomplishments!
