Update from Dr. Endorf: I’m excited to share an update as we approach the end of the 2025–26 school year.

CHS Junior Rieker Spradlin, Junior Morgan Mraz, and Sophomore Lola Bennett represented Cozad High School at the State Science Fair on Thursday, April 23 at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Rieker was recognized with the **Top Engineering Project** award and received a $100 scholarship for his project, *“Building a Low-Cost Soil Moisture Sensor Out of Common Shop Items.”* His work focused on creating an affordable way to measure soil moisture and help conserve water in agriculture.

Morgan’s project, *“Type of Toothpaste Effect on Streptococcus Mutans,”* explored how different toothpaste ingredients impact bacterial growth.
