We have one because of trying to get grants.. also companies seem to like knowing that we have one.

The mission of the F.I.R.S.T. (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics team at Philomath High School is to further the ideas of the FIRST organization. Specifically, we strive to create awareness and excitement for science and technology within our school and community.

We also have a vision statement that we created for a grant...

The vision of our team is to plan and host robotics events that are both fun and intellectually stimulating to further involve the community and school in science and technology. We provide motivation and support for students within our club in the areas of engineering, math, and science. Furthermore, we encourage, motivate, and provide support for students with many diverse interests including graphic arts, marketing, and business.
