Harlan Technology Student Association Places in Multiple Categories at Regional Competition
On Friday February 16, 2024, the Harlan Chapter of the Technology Student Association competed at their regional competition for the Kentucky TSA. No student left empty handed, as teams competed in multiple categories and walked away with ribbons. Placements for students are as such:
Matthew Brock and Peyton Thompson placed 1st in Debating Technological Issues.
Kevin Lee, Peyton Thompson, Connor Witt, Sayed Damaa, Cameron Reynolds, and Aiden Carroll (not pictured) placed 1st in On-Demand Video.
Caiden Baker and Charlie Honeycutt placed 2nd in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
Caiden Baker and Kade Napier placed 3rd in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
Sayed Damaa, Kevin Lee, and Cameron Reynolds placed 3rd in Technology Bowl.
Chapter Advisor, Dr. Gregory Edens, stated, “I was really impressed with the drive these students had for the competition. This is our third year with TSA and the experience is showing. I’m even more impressed with the flexibility of students as we had a couple students unable to attend at the last minute and substitutes filled in competitions and managed to place so high. It was a great competition for them. They definitely embody the characteristics of what Harlan Independent instills in their students.”
Harlan TSA chapter looks to compete at the State Competition held in Louisville Kentucky this year. That competition is slated for March 18th-20th.
Yesterday was National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day and Harlan Independent is thankful to have the best!! A big shoutout to Chief Derrick Akal for his service to our schools and community!
HES yearbook ads are on sale. The money is due on Thursday, February 22nd.

Harlan Elementary has decided to hold a Read-a-thon this year!
Read-a-thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-a-thon starts Monday February 26, 2024. This will be the same week as Read Across America.
About one week before our Read-a-thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323739323035/1 and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-a-thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
Miss Kat
Media Specialist
