Last year, then-freshman Auto Breaux attended the State Beta Convention in Baton Rouge and represented Lake Arthur High School (LAHS) in the ninth grade Math Competition. He placed fifth in the state, which qualified him for nationals in Dallas. Due to COVID, the actual convention was canceled but qualifiers competed virtually. This year’s state convention was also virtual. Auto again represented LAHS, this time competing in the 10th grade Math Competition. He placed second in the state, which qualifies him to compete nationally at the convention to be held this summer in Disney World.
