The CMS vs hand coded debate!

So to start off 4 years ago I came into my robotics team wanting to do something different and decided to join my web team. Right now Team 537 is using Wordpress as a Content Management System (http://team537.org) and don't get me wrong, I love the easy use of Wordpress but I am not sure about long term! I am the web lead on our team and currently we have 3 other people on the web team and I feel like the "webkins" aren't learning any thing using WordPress. As a team member and a web leader I feel it is important to teach them something that they can use in the future, not saying you can't find a job with wordpress experience... I just don't want one of them trying to apply to facebook thinking that wordpress is what runs the web... I compleatly hand coded At The Control but that was from what I learned on my own time durring the past 3 summers. I am curious what do other people think? What are you using to run your site?
