Have you ever been interested in competing in events related to Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics? If yes, then Stroudsburg High School (SHS) has the perfect club for you!
The Technology Student Association (TSA) at SHS competed against other schools in the state on April 27, 2025, in all the STEM subjects. These kids have been preparing for their respective events since September 2024, and they were more than ready to put themselves to the test.
“My favorite memory from the trip was playing volleyball with all the kids and actually networking with everybody from the other schools.
