The Pennsylvania TSA is comprised of nine geographical regions. Upper St. Clair High School falls within Region 6, which includes southwestern Pennsylvania. TSA offers 40 high school competitions within several career categories, including Architecture and Construction Technology, Communications Technology, Computer Science and Information Technology, Leadership, Manufacturing and Transportation Technology, STEM, STEM and the Arts, and Technology and Research.

TSA was started by industrial arts teachers who wanted to provide opportunities for their students to be recognized for their accomplishments and was originally the American Industrial Arts Student Association (AIASA).
