Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?

The administration at my school (we feed from the two high schools in the district) is supportive of us, but they don't promote us very much. They let us have what we want (showcase, more space in the shop, and letting us out of class to collect school supplies), but that's about the extent of their support. All of my teachers usually ask me how competitions go when we get back, but that's about where it ends.

After putting up a huge display in the most-visible showcase at the end of last year, I'm sure that the students at one of our two schools know who we are, but that's about the extent of their support. We're working on changing that and getting our name out there :/ It's very hard to coordinate awareness - and things such as bake sales - when your students are unequally spread out between two schools.
