On April 11-12, students from our Xenia High School  Technology Student Association (TSA) chapter participated in the Ohio TSA competition — held just up the road at the Greene County Career Center! The students showcased their creativity, technical skills, and professional dedication in a variety of challenging engineering events, and w We are excited to announce that Layla Rouch and her Engineering Design Team have qualified for the National TSA Conference in Washington, D.C., this June!

Reaching Nationals is a significant accomplishment that highlights not only their technical talent but also their persistence and ability to work effectively under pressure. They will be representing our school and our community on a national stage, competing against the best young engineering minds in the country.

TSA at Xenia High School, which is integrated into our Manufacturing Pathway in partnership with the GCCC, is built on the hard work of every single team member who prepared for these events. This success is further bolstered by our chapter’s formal partnership with the Greene County Career Center, which provides our students with invaluable collaborative opportunities. We want to extend a huge congratulations to all our students for their commitment and the professional maturity they displayed throughout the weekend:
