I've been having a really difficult time with trying to find someone who is experienced in forensic science that I can interview, because I'm working on a project for my high school... is there any place that you can recommend where I can look?

If no cooperation at the local departments, perhaps a nice Crime Scene will do.
Tell them what you want, give them your number, or ask for their card.
Perhap leave some prints behind for an In depth interview, problem is, they may ask most of the questions.
Good Luck with your project.
