In what year did TSA split into High School and Middle School competitions?

The Transportation Student Association (TSA) divided its competitions into separate categories for High School and Middle School in 1996. This decision was made to better tailor the challenges and experiences to the different age groups, allowing for age-appropriate activities and fostering competition at both educational levels more effectively. The split aimed to enhance student engagement and provide better educational opportunities that aligned with the developmental stages of the participants.

The other dates provided may have significance in the organization’s history, but none correspond to the specific year when this structural change was implemented. It was in 1996 that TSA recognized the need for distinct divisions to cater to the unique educational journeys of middle and high school students, making that year pivotal in the organization's evolution.
