The exhibit must meet the industry standard for creativity and neatness and is judged on the degree of difficulty and must comply with the 2017 National Electrical Code.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are so proud of our student\u2019s achievements,\u201d said MPHS Electrical Technology instructor, Tim Davis. \u201cOur students\u2019 successes are due to their willingness to work and prepare during and after school. Many hours after school is what it takes to compete against some of the best electrical programs in the state. We take the responsibility very seriously as we represent our school, community and the entire state of Texas at the National competition in June. Go TIGERS!\u201d<\/p>\n
