We select the team based on interviews, a submitted resume, teachers referrals, etc. This selection takes place in the Spring. We have 24 members this year and all will go unless a student doesn't keep up their end of the deal (one time in 4 years). We don't use grades as a citeria, alot of our team doesn't start with good grades. Some of our students are picked because they are doing great, some are picked because they aren't doing great. The hope is to inspire the underacheivers by making them part of a team that includes people that they normally wouldn't interact with. The team selection is a tough deal, we had 18 students from the '99 team that applied and weren't picked for the 2000 Squad. We only carry over about 5 students each year with the rest of the team rookies.
