I think that for a multi-school team to be successful, you have to find a common bond. Team 662 is a multi-school team, however, we are in a large public school district that has 6 high schools. We are chartered as a district club, and students from all 6 high schools are welcome to join our team. If I understand your situation correctly, The Barstow School is a private school, perhaps you should talk to other private schools in the area. Another approach is to think of the FIRST term Coopertition. In the spirit of Coopertition, talk to students from the school that is your main rival in sports. Explain Coopertition and how a joint venture would showcase the FIRST ideals of Coopertition.
