YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Three Harvest Preparatory Academy students received recognition in an international science competition.

Their ECOPADS project stood out from other entries as it addressed environmental sustainability while also tacking women's health, according to Harvest Prep.

"Getting a Grand Award is incredibly difficult," said a Mr. Alfed Santos, STEM coordinator at Harvest Preparatory Academy. "But our amazing eagles proved they can soar high on the international stage!"

Another student, Estefany Regalado, was also recognized for her work in Microbiology.
