“After more than two years, I was so glad that our Edmond TSA students had the opportunity to compete at the Oklahoma TSA State Conference in person this year,” SFHS TSA advisor and computer science teacher Susan James said. “Many of the competitors had not had the opportunity to compete with their chapters until this competition season.  I am proud to have had so many students who successfully competed and quite a few who are now looking forward to a trip to Dallas in June to compete at the national level.”
