In an impressive show of technological skills, 69 students from Carthage High School's Technology Students Association (TSA) have qualified for the TSA State Competition, to be held in Fort Worth this week. These 69 students qualified with 183 different projects, which is an incredible accomplishment. This comes after months of hard work and dedication from the students preparing these projects for the regional competition, which was held in February.
According to TSA advisor Mrs. Julie Patterson, the students' success is a testament to their commitment to excellence and hard work. "Our students have been working tirelessly to perfect their skills and compete at the highest level," she said. "I couldn't be more proud of their hard work and dedication."
Of the 183 projects that qualified for the state competition, 10 projects are categorized as National Qualifying Events (NQEs) and have the opportunity to move on from the Texas TSA State Contest and compete at the national level later this year.
The VEX Robotics program is a relatively new addition to CHS TSA, and is proud to have two teams of students who have qualified for the TSA VEX Robotics event through a rigorous process spanning several months of competitions. The first team includes students Riley Calhoun, Angel Escobedo and Lucius Escobedo. The second team includes students Samantha Calloway, Estrella Lopez Luna and Brealyn Mosby.
The TSA State Competition will feature a variety of events, including robotics, engineering, video editing, photography, graphic design, and many more. Students will have the opportunity to showcase their skills and compete against some of the best in the state.
In addition to the state-qualifying projects, nine students also earned their Lonestar Degree at the regional contest and will sit for the Texan Degree at the State Competition. Students earning their Lonestar Degree are Andrew Carroll, Kenneth Compton, Nathan Griffin, Christian Miller, Brealyn Mosby, Kelley Phelps, Drew Pitts, Mauricio Rosales and Kensington Travis.
With their impressive list of state qualifying projects, the Carthage High School TSA students have cemented their status as leaders in the field of technology. Their achievements serve as a source of inspiration and motivation for future generations of Bulldogs.
The TSA is a national association of students engaged in STEM and the arts, and the Carthage High School TSA chapter has decades of history and program success.
