Re: How much does your school's general population care about your team?
The Pioneers are composed of two sister schools in the same district (Pascack Valley and Pascack Hills High School) and we get moderate support. Our principals and superintendent come to the closest regional we attend, the New Jersey Regional, and they provide us with a great amount of financial support (as a reward for this year's success they helped us pay for plane tickets to Atlanta rather than a bus). The Board of Ed also allows us to demonstrate our robot every year and congratulate us at one meeting a year. Whenever we come back from a regional, they make an announcement congratulating us on our accomplishments and teachers show enthusiasm for the team, too. As for the students, we generally get a few questions about the trip or the robot (and the battle bots questions) and some congrats from friends who know we did well but don't really understand what we did.
