A group of WPSHS students from Ms. Gonda's class recently traveled to Mountain View Middle School to compete in the regional Technology Student Association (TSA) competition. This association enhances personal development, leadership, and career opportunities in STEM in which students can integrate these concepts through intracurricular activities, competitions, and related programs.
We would like to congratulate Yazmily Sanyet Virola, Yuddy Filpo Nunez, and Santiago Leyva Galeano on qualifying for the State competition which will take place in April. We wish you the best of luck Bearcats! 🐾
