Welcome our 6th AST of the year! I hope all of your novices are ready for an incredible competitive experience on February 19th, 2020 at Flanagan High School (thanks Angela Thomas and Flanagan Students/Parents)!
Please follow the instructions on this page to register your entries. Remember, each school may only initially enter FIVE students in all events except Congress, in which you can enter TEN.
Registration for NEW ENTRIES will close on Tuesday, February 18th at 12pm NOON. At that time as many students will be released from the waitlist as space allows. Changes (drops or name changes) can be made until 12pm on Wednesday, February 19th. Any hidden drops will result in your school being fined $25 per drop. You will be able to make your own changes until 12pm on that Wednesday.
