More than 100 science, technology, engineering and mathematics students from Mountlake Terrace High School and Brier-Terrace Middle School participated in the Washington Technology Student Association (WTSA) State Conference held March 28-30 in Seatac and brought home a number of top honors from the event.

The annual conference brings STEM students from around Washington state together for learning, support from leaders in technology and various competitions judged by STEM educators and industry representatives. More than 1,200 students attended this year’s state conference.

The MTHS TSA chapter, led by advisors Mark Burbank, James Wilson and Khin Wone, was recognized for having the largest high school chapter in the state at this year’s conference; likewise, the BTMS TSA chapter, led by advisors Todd Johnston, James Sullivan, Abby Burton and Ryan Treadway, was awarded as the largest middle school chapter in the state.

“BTMS and MTHS had an incredible successful conference,” noted BTMS Advisor Todd Johnston. The more than 100 students from the two schools that attended the state event earned more than 50 awards.

“Shout out to Jake Dalton and Angela Zumbo for coming along and helping to keep things running smoothly,” Johnston added..
