Congratulations to Jordan Umlas
Congratulations to Jordan Umlas for her outstanding achievement in Science and for representing our Hi Tides as well as she did in multiple arenas throughout M-SCPS (district), the State of Florida and also Internationally!!!Jordan was chosen as the 2020 Sunshine State Scholar to represent our Miami-Dade County school district at the FLDOE Sunshine State Scholars Seminar. She was the only recipient of this honor for the entire M-DCPS district!!! She was one of 76 students selected in the entire State of Florida (one from each school district) for this honor. We are so proud of you!
In addition to this honor, which is spectacular, Jordan was chosen to represent South Florida at the Florida State Science and Engineering fair for her project “Whole Body Periodic Acceleration Improves Muscle Function in Type 1 Diabetic Mice”. She was one of only 15 students chosen for this honor. Way to go Jordan!!!
Burt that wasn't all, Jordan was also chosen to represent the State of Florida at the 2020 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in Anaheim, California, showcasing the same research. She was one of only 5 students chosen for this honor. It is amazing what great things are accomplished when passion and drive come together...in this case in the name of Science and STEAM.
We are so very proud of Jordan Umlas and her amazing accomplishments. Congratulate her and cheer her on as the judging for International winners is forthcoming!!!! We are so proud of Jordan!!!! Keep it up!!!
