Peoria High places third at state MESA Day 2023
Posted
Peoria High School won the 3rd place championship team trophy in the 2023 Arizona State MESA Day competition at Grand Canyon University May 6.
It was the 28th top three trophy finish in the team’s 31-year history.
Every student on both the Junior High and High School teams won a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place medal this year.
There were 36 schools statewide in the event.
Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement is a university-based outreach program operating in 11 states. In Arizona, MESA strives to provide an opportunity for ethnic minority, low income, and first generation college-bound students to explore college majors and career interests with a group of peers interested in attending college.
Students submitted parts of their projects online, then presented and tested their projects in competition at the event.
Peoria High MESA met several times a week after school as a club for students to work on STEM related projects, career exploration and related field trips. Peoria Junior MESA met weekly (and daily closer to competition) after school to work on STEM related projects. This year the Peoria Junior MESA team members came from Santa Fe and Peoria elementary schools.
The MESA Advisor is Peoria High staff member David Hill.
