LHSW TAFE teacher leader Taylor Jasper is excited for the students to have the opportunity to compete at the state level, stating, “This has been such a special year. These students have worked so incredibly hard, and we have had many of them in the program since they were freshmen. Watching the growth they have had in these last few years has been amazing. I am so proud of them all.”

The state competition will be hosted in Galveston at the Moody Gardens. Following state competition, students can advance to the national competition hosted in Orlando, Florida.
