The CCMS and CCHS Technology Student Association teams were recognized at last week’s Clay County School Board meeting for their success at the WV State Competition.  Due to COVID, the State Competition was canceled in 2020, and held virtually in 2021.  This year the students were excited to return to Cedar Lakes in Ripley, West Virginia to compete in person.  At the end of March, led by their Advisor Jessica Ramsey, forty-two students total, seventeen middle school students and twenty-five high school, boarded two yellow school buses and headed to victory.

TSA is the Technology Students Association.  TSA is a student organization where students work and learn about STEM, or the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.  The competitions are all strategy, problem solving or researched based.  Each of the students worked many hours perfecting their projects.  Their hard work and dedication paid off.  This year’s conference theme was Discover Your Journey. Clay Middle captured six first place, nine second place, and five third place victories. Clay High School captured eight first place, five second place, and four third place finishes. In total, ten middle school students and twenty-two high school students earned the honor to attend the national TSA competition in Dallas, Texas from June 26 to June 30, 2022. State winners were as follows:

Overall, the middle school placed second and the high school placed third.  Additionally, at Cedar Lakes, state officers for the 2022-2023 school year were elected.  Holt Dawson from CCHS will serve as State President.  

Ms. Ramsey is very proud of these students for not only being successful in competition, but for their success in their behavior too.  These students are carrying on a strong tradition set by TSA students over the past decade.  Ms. Ramsey would also like to thank Mr. Phil Dobbins, Mr. Scotty Ramsey, Mrs. April Dawson, Mrs. Mary Ramsey, Mr. Larry Ramsey, Mrs. Leslie Goe, Mr. Barry Payton and Mrs. Mary Ann Triplett for their time and hard work helping students with projects or serving as chaperones along with the parents, grandparents, and family members who help make sure the students’ projects are complete.  

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and the same can be said about TSA.  It takes a community to bring success and CCMS and CCHS students are fortunate to have that community support.  This success would also not be possible without the support of the administrations at Clay County Middle School, Clay County High School, the Clay County Schools Administrative Staff and the Clay County Board of Education.  We thank you!
