The Technology Student Association State conference was held from April 24 to 27.  Forty-six outstanding George Ranch students competed in a variety of contests. Below are the results.

The TSA leadership team – Andrew Phillips, Zack Carlino, Josh Prushing, James Valentine, Will Culpepper, and Ryan Welty won the 2019 Texas Chapter Excellence Award and will be recognized at the National Conference.  This will make the sixth time that Will Culpepper and Donald Hunter Duty have gone to nationals!  They are the first students in LCISD to have accomplished this!

We also had THREE students earn a spot on the Texas TSA state leadership team.  Andrew Phillips (10^th grade) is the new Sargent at Arms and Hailey Nycum (10^th grade) and Ryan Welty (9^th grade) are on the state leadership team.

29 of our entries placed in the top 10 and 21 George Ranch students (4,000+ students were competing at this conference) will be moving on to compete at Nationals in Washington D.C. this summer.
