BOSSIER CITY, La. - Three students from Bossier Parish Schools placed among the top five students in a national cyber security competition hosted by Cyber.org.
It was a virtual competition held over a three-day span in early January. It tested their knowledge, but also hopefully sparked interest in cyber jobs.
Liam Denehan, a junior at Airline High School in Bossier City, came in third place, going up against 1,424 other high school students nationwide. Denehan won a $1,000 technology award for his school.Â
âIt was it was extremely challenging. I mean, some of the questions were like crazy,â said Denehan. âIt encourages out of the box thinking like stuff that you wouldn t think of just sitting around, you know, you have to actively use your brain and figure out things. It s like a puzzle,âÂ
