Welcome to TSA Club!

Welcome to the Elizabethtown Area High School Technology Student Association (TSA) website.  This student driven association and its many opportunities are offered to high school students in grades 9-12.  This is the eighth year Elizabethtown Area High School TSA will be competing in technology-oriented competitions at regional, state and possibly national levels.  The TSA mission is to prepare our membership for the challenges of a dynamic world by promoting technological literacy, leadership, and problem solving, resulting in personal growth and opportunity.

Throughout the school year, TSA students will meet biweekly after school from 2:40 p.m. – 3:25 p.m. on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday to work on events.  From “Technology Problem-Solving” to “CO2 Dragster Challenge”, students may choose from over 34 competitive events.  The ensuing weeks will provide ample time for each member to concentrate on his/her area of interest and prepare for upcoming competitions.  The TSA competitions and tentative dates for this school year are as follows:

TSA Region 2 Competition at Conestoga Valley HS,  (February 2016)
PA-TSA State Competition at Seven Springs Conference Center, Champion, PA (April 13-16, 2016)
TSA National Competition at Gaylord Opryland, Nashville, TN (June 28 - July 2, 2016)
        Conference Theme: Building A Legacy

Dressed in TSA/professional attire, you will have the opportunity to compete against other students, promoting professional attitudes, developing problem solving skills and attaining technology knowledge so desperately needed in our modern society.  Elizabethtown Area HS TSA membership dues for the year are $14.00, which includes both state and national membership, a free Technology Education magazine, and the opportunity to compete in a competitive event at one of the regional or state conferences.  Conference attendance is not mandatory, however; members who do not qualify or elect not to attend a conference can provide his/her leadership towards fund- raisers, attend a variety of field trips, or participate in TSA projects and social gatherings.  Above all, the Technology Student Association is designed to be hands-on, fun, and enjoyable.

As TSA advisor, I am looking forward to seeing you mature through our association. If you would like more information about TSA please contact us at troy_erdman@etownschools.org and/or check out the national website at www.tsaweb.org, or state site at www.patsa.org.

Sincerely,
Mr. Erdman
