Hi Soobs,

I'm a mentor for O'Hara H.S. We're just 10 miles from Team Driven. Congratulations on your outstanding year, by the way, and also to North and West.

I can tell you a little about the school, since I graduated from it myself, many years ago. My son graduated last year, and is a mechanical engineering freshman. Our school is a Catholic school, but we have many, many students of all religions. The school has 430 students. They have foreign exchange students attending regularly. Almost 100% of the graduates each year continue to college, with a few going into military service. I think it's a very good school.

This was only our second year in FIRST, and we essentially started all over again. Last year, 10 of 12 team members were seniors, and the other two members moved to other schools. So, this year's team was new. The good news is that only two members of this year's team are seniors, so the majority of the team will return.

Think about visiting soon if you will be leaving the area after this schoolyear is over. I can help you arrange a visit, if you like. We'd love to have you.
