Each year, Matt Wade, PLS, partners with the Gainesville R-V trigonometry teacher to give students the opportunity to take the Trig-Star exam.
Sponsored by the National Society of Professional Surveyors, Trig-Star is a competition that recognizes and rewards high school students who excel in mathematics, particularly trigonometry, and their teachers. The goal of the program is to demonstrate practical uses for mathematics and bring greater awareness of the surveying profession.
The winner of the local contest receives a scholarship sponsored by Ozark Country Land Surveying. He or she also receives additional money as the state winner.
This year’s local winner is Tate Uchtman, who received a perfect score on the exam. Congratulations to Tate!
Tate Uchtman won 1st place in the Trig Star competition with a PERFECT score. He will represent Missouri in the national competition this summer. As the Missouri winner, he earned $1000 scholarship.
Great job Tate!
