Heba Bhat, a freshman at East Chapel Hill High School, received top honors for the essay she submitted to the National DNA Day Essay Contest. Her essay provided an insightful explanation of the issues involved in direct-to-consumer genetic testing.

Bhat will receive a $400 prize for her essay. Her science teacher, Judy Jones, will receive a $2,000 grant to purchase genetics laboratory equipment for biology classrooms at ECHHS.
