Seniors Will Ferenchick and Harrison Eck represented Wilson High School at the 39th Annual Brossman Foundation and Ronald E. Frisbie, Sr. Science Lectureship and Competition, held on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Millersville University. The duo teamed up to earn second-place honors in the highly competitive event. The annual competition brought together 19 schools from across southeastern Pennsylvania to participate in an advanced science examination. The 100-question exam challenged students with material from introductory college levels and spanned a wide variety of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, computer science, earth sciences, environmental science and sustainability, mathematics, nursing, physics, technology, and the health professions, as well as topics from current science news. Team scores in the competition ranged from 47 to 79 correct responses. In achieving second place, Will and Harrison scored an impressive 78, demonstrating their exceptional knowledge, teamwork, and scientific skill! #WilsonSD
