At the girls' school, we're considered the "geeky but cool" club, somewhat like the drama club (which is pretty intense here). It seems that pretty much everyone knows of what we do, and many are interested to hear stories from the regionals. People are especially hyped about the team participating in Championships... We get A LOT of support from peers, teachers, and administration - which is completely awesome compared to the first year, when the team was just considered a "shadow" of the Science Olympiad club.

My point being - it takes time, but every team will eventually find its way toward establishing school support.
