My public high school was also a big football and basketball school, with teams in those sports taking home titles, trophies and all that. It's not like you're asking them to discredit football/etc. and claim robotics as "THE" sport, just that it is included.
We went straight to the principal with a letter that stated why we felt robotics was a sport and should be recognized as one. As far as I can tell, you haven't tried this yet? Maybe you should give it a shot first, then reevaluate if it isn't successful.
