Top Projects Awards

TASC recognizes up to the best ten individual projects organized by HS student councils and up to the top five individual projects organized by ML student councils. Please note that there is an opportunity to apply for recognition as a "collaborative" project (one completed by more than one campus) as well as a submission by one council. There can be no more than three winners in the "collaborative" project area for high schools and no more than one winner in the "collaborative" project area for middle-level schools. Winning entries will receive an award determined by the TASC Board of Directors. Councils applying for award-winning projects will receive a plaque.  Additional schools listed in collaborative project award winners will receive a certificate. Select the link below for rules and application. All entries should be submitted to TASC via the website by the annual due date. These schools are recognized at their respective annual conferences.
