TSA Clubs Excel in 2026 Regional Contests

A handful of TSA clubs from Fayette County Public Schools participated in the Kentucky Technology Student Association’s 2026 regional contests, usually hosted by Eastern Kentucky University. However, the live portion of February’s competition was canceled because of inclement weather. Congratulations to all these students!
