OHS Student Blake Smith Gets Proclamation from U.S. Representative Carolyn McCarthy

Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy visited OHS senior, Blake Smith, today to congratulate him on his 4th place win in the national Siemens Science, Math and Technology Competition and to present him with a Congressional Proclamation.

Congresswoman McCarthy was warm, down-to-earth and funny, immediately putting Blake, his mom and teachers at ease. She encouraged Blake's interest in science and medicine, talking about her nursing background and how far medicine, technology and attitudes have come since the 1960s, when cancer was a word that was too frightening to even say.

After chatting with Blake a bit, the Congresswoman prepared to present the proclamation, referencing her shyness when she first entered politics and how she is now expected to be a talker.

"Would you like me to read it?" asked Blake.  "I can be the talker." The Congresswoman agreed. When Blake read the title of his project, arcane scientific terms easily rolled off his tongue. "That's why I wanted you to read it," joked Congresswoman McCarthy, as everyone laughed.

Blake was accompanied by his mom, Deborah Smith, Science Research Coordinator, Heather Hall, teachers Lisa Mehr and Maureen Bodkin, Director of Science Kathy Chapman, OHS Principal Mark Secaur and Assistant Superintendent for Business, Louis Frontario.
