Students interested in TSA should be independent thinkers willing to work on activities individually as well as with others. TSA students must want to compete against other TSA students at the district, state, and national level. Joining TSA is a commitment to yourself and the DMJ TSA chapter. Being a TSA member will allow you to travel and compete, showing others the skills you have learned through hard work and dedication.
