Despite the federal funder’s suspension of JSHS until further notice, CT AHEC is pleased to announce that the 2026 CT High School Science and Humanities Symposium will be held at UConn Health in Farmington on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Registration information will be available by mid-November at h.uconn.edu/ct-hsshs. CT HSSHS will be nearly identical to previous years’ competitions (e.g., application process, competition categories, and guidelines) but will not have a national component. The symposium on February 28 in Farmington will be very similar to previous years’ symposia (program, block schedule, etc.).
