Alamogordo High School Technology Student Association Tigers Punch Tickets to Washington D.C. Based on STEM Achievement

ALAMOGORDO, NM — The spirit of innovation is alive and well in the Tularosa Basin. As the final buzzers sounded and the projects were packed away at the 2026 New Mexico Technology Student Association (NM-TSA) State Conference, the message was clear: the traditional public high school- Alamogordo High School is a force to be reckoned with in the world of STEM.

Following three days of intense competition, several standout Tigers have officially secured their spots for the National TSA Conference, set to take place this June in our nation's capital, Washington D.C.

A Podium Sweep: Gold, Silver, and Bronze

The Alamogordo contingent arrived with a mission, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. Our local students didn't just compete; they claimed top honors across a wide variety of technical disciplines.

• First Place (Gold) Winners:

The Road to Washington D.C.

Qualifying for Nationals means these student-innovators will represent not just the Tiger pride, but the entire state of New Mexico on the grandest stage. The 2026 National TSA Conference will be held in Washington D.C., where our local students will face off against thousands of peers from across the country.

Beyond the competition, the trip offers these students a chance to network with industry leaders and explore the historic landmarks of the capital.

Community Support Wanted

Success at this level is a team effort. "We made it!" was the rallying cry for the group as they posed for photos with their medals and the iconic Alamogordo school bus. To see them earn a trip to D.C. is a testament to the talent we have here in Alamogordo.

With the national trip on the horizon, the focus now shifts to fundraising to ensure all qualifying students can attend. The community is encouraged to keep an eye out for local fundraisers to support these future engineers, designers, and leaders.

2nd Life Media congratulates all the Alamogordo High School TSA participants! You’ve made the town proud, and we can't wait to see you bring home the gold from Washington D.C.
