League City – The Clear Creek Independent School District is pleased to announce the winners of the 2012-2013 CCISD Science Fair. More than 400 4th and 5th graders competed at the district level science fair.
“We had teacher volunteers from each of our 26 elementary schools who helped make the district fair a success,” said elementary science coordinator Anne Smith. “Our community of judges worked very hard to evaluate the projects and assign the awards.”
