A team of four Los Alamitos High School AP Chemistry students has placed 6th out of 45 Orange county schools participating in the annual American Chemical Society exam competition. That is Los Alamitos High’s best performance in many years, said AP Chemistry teacher Tim Jones. In addition, one of the team members, sophomore Andy Fong, ranked 10th among all students in the county who took the special, rigorous exam. He will go on to compete nationally next month. He and his teammates—Lucas Torgerson, Katherine Kubiatko, and Vincent Ngo—also will be honored at an awards dinner in May. Fong was nonchalant about his stellar performance: “Chemistry just makes sense to me.” Pictured, (L-R), are Lucas Torgerson, Katherine Kubiatko, Andy Fong, and Vincent Ngo.
