Whatever creativity Poteau has, TSA makes it possible with some technology. TSA, the Technology Student Association, is a national student organization created to develop science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and business education skills. TSA aims to develop leadership, academic, and business management skills in the workplace among students and leaders within the community. There are a total of six TSA officers. Bradley Jager is the president, Brookie Balido is the vice president, Christopher Loyd is the treasurer, Eddie Daggs is our sergeant at arms, Shea Adams is the reporter, and Ameria Daughtery is our secretary. Each of these officers has a role that they play during each meeting and conference. The officers also have symbols that represent them for their team. The president is the gavel, the vice president is the star, the treasurer is the balanced budget, the sergeant at arms is the hearty handshake, the reporter is the beacon tower, and the secretary is the pen. This year TSA’s new advisor is Coach Spencer Hall.
“The officer team we have assembled this year has the potential to lead our chapter to nationals,” says Spencer. “We have strong leadership and some great ideas from each individual.” As a team, they hope to receive many awards and take a group to nationals in Orlando, Florida. Spencer has a good feeling about TSA this year. “I am super excited to be the teacher that oversees TSA for Poteau High School. This is a great opportunity for students to display their skills outside of the classroom as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.” No idea is too big, no person is too small, and the nerds are back in town.
