On Thursday, February 6, John A. Logan College held the annual Academic Challenge in Engineering and Sciences (ACES) regional competition. Students were tested in biology, chemistry, computer science, English, graphics, mathematics and physics. The competition included high school students from Carbondale, Carterville, DuQuoin, Elverado, Herrin, Johnston City, and Trico. The top winners will move on to compete at the sectional level at Southern Illinois University Carbondale in March.
All attendees were also entered into a drawing and three students were randomly selected to win a one-time $3,000 Scholarship to John A. Logan College. Congrats to all the scholarship and award winners!
