Each year, the CLSA Trig-Star program is a great success that helps to bring awareness of the land surveying profession to high school students, thier teachers and their families. I congratulate everyone for their involvement, great job! Once again CLSA has purchased a state license for the Trig-Star program, which allows each chapter to sign up any high school without having to pay the fee for each test package. Now with email and other electronic means of exchanging files, passing out the Trig-Star tests, manuals, and data is less labor intensive, which makes our jobs a lot easier.
Below are files such as the PowerPoint Presentation, student questionnaire, sample problems & answers, sample letter to teachers, posters, flyers, and the Trig-Star manual. All of which will aid you in your presentations within the classroom.
Utilizing the NSPS Trig-Star Committee time frame, the Level 1 (Chapter Area) exams should be completed and sent to me by: May 9th. The Winner and Runners-up for the State will be determined by comparing the scores and times for each high school top finishers. The State Winner will receive $1,000.00 plus a plaque. Second place will receive $500.00 and a plaque.
Most of you already know that this is a wonderful program, which allows local surveyors to interact with local high school students. The benefit that the students receives is not only important for their general knowledge about the surveying profession, but the possibility of a student’s interest in a career in surveying.

Good luck to everyone, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you might have, I’m available anytime.
Best of Luck,
