This past Saturday, on March 21st, 19 Hartford Huskies traveled to WMU to compete in the Regional Science Olympiad Competition against 20+ area teams. All participants did their best and Mr. Thiele and Mr. Morsaw appreciated all your hard work for these past months. We want to thank our seniors for all their time they have put in the Science Olympiad for the past 7 years in middle and high school. Our 2026 seniors were Alexander Morsaw, Weston Pitcher, Isaiah Lovell, and Joel Garcia. We wish all our seniors good luck in their future endeavors and the work they did for the Science Department and the Hartford community.

The following Hartford Huskies received medals/ribbons for their efforts:

5th place finishers in Boomilever were Joel Garcia and Josais Robles
