• When does TSA meet?

    Meetings for each school year begin in late August/early September and run through April for state competitions and May for those competing in national competitions.

    For 2024-25, we will be meeting on Thursdays with the choice of attending a morning OR afternoon session. SEE BELOW FOR EXACT DATES.

    Keep checking back BELOW for Updates!

    TSA (all events except robotics), Thursdays, AM or PM. (Depending on the event, not attending every meeting may suffice for preparation for your project/event if you are working on your event at home as well. Just make sure to check in on club days or via email with Mrs. Hearrington about your progress.)

    TSA VEX Robotics will meet as part of the Robotics Club and once the robotics team is formed, they will coordinate meetings together to practice. See Ms. Peterson for details. TSA is restructuring its robotics program and will not have a middle school level robotics event this year but will have a TSA branded one starting Fall 2025.

    TSA Leadership Team (Officers): If you want to be a part of the decision makers of the club, let Mrs. Hearrington know asap.
