Oh, and you can also say we cover two counties...and, come to think of it, two states (Waverly is in NY, the rest are in PA).

LOL... and to add more confusion... at times Wyalusing and Sayre School Districts have been involved. Plus word is Canton School District will be goining this coming year. In addition to, a home-school that is involved with the team.

Lat year we had a total of five high schools contribute to team 190. The majority fo them were from Mass. Academy. But every year we get help from Doherty highschool. That year however three other high schools decided to help out. One person of which wound up on our travel team.

we're a one high school team, but that's not a problem, at least, i don't see it as a problem. we're not a large team, and i'm quite happy with the outcome we DO have from our school :)

I would think that it would be very complicated due to transportation issues to have team meetings, build sessions, etc if the team members are scattered all around (but I live in a big city, so what do I know).
At times, it can be. Most of our meetings are at one of two schools (one that's centrally located for the bussing, the other being home to our work areas). A third school is used for gathering before travel, as it's a bit closer to most of our homes.

Basically, the district busses us where we need to go. It works...but it's confusing.

=) that would be pretty cool to pull off.. can maybe make it an annual exercise or something, with different teams from CA and ONT exchanging each year!

Our team consists of only 1 team, although there are many teams in our city.

Our team, though there are a few students who come from different schools, primarily consists of students from only one high school.

Well, we're mostly homeschool students, but we have 3 public schoolers this year all from different schools. Does that jump us up to a 4-school team? :D
Heh, one member probably doesn't count as highly. But hey, you gotta start somewhere...

RAGE has 5 schools involved with our team. This year we have over 35 students which is the most I believe we have ever had.

Wow. :yikes:

93 is made up of students from four different high schools - Appleton North, Appleton East, Appleton West and Neenah High School.

Re: Would you believe 14?
 
Oconomowoc would be 1 high school, but our district is huge. So about 100 sq. miles with kids from 3 different WI counties.

1 SCHOOL!!

And do you know why???

Because our very uninformed and un-openminded BOE has resrictions on our team, going against the whole principal of the expansion of FIRST!!

In the past we had team members from 2 other schools, but were told that they were to be "grandfathered" into our team, and then no other students from those schools would be allowed to join our team.

Now what gets me is, the kids we had on our team from the other schools lived in the same town as the kids in our "main" HS (they went to a trade school, and one went to a parochial school in another town) but the funny thing is - their parents still pay taxes in our town and they are entitled to the same rights that the kids in our town that go to the "main" school are they not??

Now the funny thing is this year, we have a kid on our team who used to go to one of those other schools last year, but basically "came back" to the "main" school just to be part of the team... How sad and/or great is that??

He was forced to go to this HS just because he wanted to be on our team..

What do you think of this?? Have any on of your school districts pulled this kind of garbage on you??

(And let's not even go into the fact that because we are a "non-profit" non-school sanctioned team - re: not school funded, that we have to pay and extra (large) fee to use the school if we want to use it on the weekends... But I'll leave that for another thread..)
