Not only have our students excelled in the classroom, they’re also very accomplished in co-curricular activities and in various science competitions. Here are a few of our recent achievements. Check back regularly for updates.

> 2005 SCIENCE INQUIRY TEAM
In 2005, 21 students presented their science inquiry projects at the district science competition held at The University of Akron, with 16 members advancing to State Science Day. STVM also received the Outstanding School Award for Science for having the greatest number of students advance to the state competition and for having the highest percentage of students who received a “Superior” rating.

Sixteen students competed at State Science Day at Ohio State University. Thirteen of these students received the highest state rating of “Superior” and three received “Excellent.” This earned the team the honor of receiving the Harold C. Shaw Outstanding School Award in 2005. STVM also earned this honor in 2000 and 2002.

> ROCKETRY TEAM CHALLENGE
The Rocketry Team Challenge, the world’s largest model rocket contest, is sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and the National Association of Rocketry, in partnership with NASA and 20 AIA member companies. The STVM Rocketry Team is sponsored by National Machine Company, located in Stow, Ohio.

The contest requires that students design, build and test a model rocket to meet varying criteria each year, while successfully carrying a payload of two raw eggs.

In 2005, STVM received national recognition for the second year in a row when "Team Charlie" was chosen to participate in Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC). Only the top 100 qualifying teams are invited to compete nationally. Eight other teams were from Ohio. In 2004, STVM sent three teams to Team America Rocketry Challenge, and finished 10^th, 21^st, and 39^th.
