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.

He placed second in the state, which qualifies him to compete nationally at the convention to be held this summer in Disney World.
