At my alma mater which as one of many active schools on the team, we were never truely thought of as a school club or organization. In the beginning students nor factulty knew the team existed. However, as time passed while I was in high school we tried to spread the word. Members of the team had close friends on the newspaper staff and we tried to at least be known. We had (two that I recall) "walk-throughs" which athletes get when they qualify for states; one which was when the team left for Nationals 2002, and one was when we won Ramp Riot 2002.
On a side note: the thing that bothered me the most was when we started to bring in awards. We had a great idea, that for one week school A would display them, and then they would travel to school B, and so on. This worked out perfectly right till the end of the year. However, my school would not display them in one of their numerous cases, and would not be responsiable for them being on display in the office.
