Discover How Science is Transforming Lynn English: A New Era of Learning

This week, the Science Club at Lynn English High School buzzed with activity as it hosted the North Shore Science League competition. Students filled the cafeteria and classrooms, eager to participate in this exciting event.

Teams from twelve high schools, including Lynn English, gathered for friendly competition in three events: Electrochemistry, Circuits, and Anatomy. It was a strong showing for Lynn English, especially in the Anatomy category, where they took first place in the “Bones, Bones, and More Bones” event. Overall, they ranked sixth out of the twelve schools participating.

North Andover dominated the competition, winning both the Electrochemistry and Circuits events, and finished in first place overall, followed by Manchester-Essex and Andover.

Jeff Bigler, a physics teacher and coach for the team, praised the students: “The science team this year has been phenomenal. They are motivated and competitive.” With one event left in March, Lynn English holds sixth place in the league standings. The top five teams will receive awards at the final meet in April.

During the competition, one of the two Lynn English teams excelled in the anatomy event, focusing on identifying human bones and their functions. Anatomy teacher Peter Pappagianopoulos played a vital role in preparing the students and overseeing the event.

Bigler has been instrumental in revitalizing the English team since he started teaching there in 2011, and in 2024, the school won the Best in Chemistry award. He shared, “The kids really enjoy the competitive atmosphere.”
