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

It took 7 years but success at last.

Team news is covered in faculty meetings and also covered on the student run school news channel. Teachers support the team and wish them well in their endeavors.

Our front hallway prominently displays the FIRST banners we have won. The team will be recognized (for the 2nd time) by the district board of education in a recognition ceremony. Our district is the 2nd largest district in the state.

There were two or more mentions of robotics at the graduation baccaluarate ceremony and several mentions at the graduation. We also have cords and letters.

Our current roster at the beginning of the summer after dropping graduating seniors and adding new recruits is already at 51 students, 54% female.

There will always be student in the school, any school, every school that don't know or care we exist. It's a teenage thing.

But for the most part I'm very pleased with our team and school progress.

Now for the hard part. Making our gains consistent and sustainable.

Ed
