Coraor and Kouttron Pace Huntington Scientists
The Huntington High School science research program under teacher Lori Pyzocha continues to gain steam behind a group of smart and talented students. Seniors Anthony Kouttron (first) and Everett Coraor (third) recently earned top honors at a science competition hosted by Nassau Community College that drew 200 top high school scholars from across Long Island.
Huntington’s powerhouse group at the event also included Jacob Roday, Matthew Angeliadis, Jason Chisolm, Megan Hansen, Holly Flores, Marissa Schedler, and Brittany Pucci-Schmitz.

The event drew an elite group of about 200 Intel competitors.
