Technology Student Association (TSA) Awards

The Technology Student Association (TSA) chapters from Phillips and McDougle Middle Schools, as well as East Chapel Hill and Chapel Hill High Schools, recently journeyed to Greensboro to attend the 2016 NCTSA State Conference. Altogether, these 44 students represented their district, schools, and communities with pride and determination. This conference has grown and our students competed among nearly 1,300 other TSA students from across the state. The next step for some of these students is attending the National TSA Conference this summer in Nashville, Tennessee.
