How many high schools are involved in your team?
In this thread, Not2B mentioned that his team is made up of students from four different high schools.
My team is made up of four high schools (Warren Mott, Cousino, Sterling Heights, and MMSTC, aka the Math Science Center), but they're all in the same district (Warren Consolidated). How common are FIRST teams with multiple high schools involved? When looking at multiple-school teams, how often are the schools involved from different districts? (Admittedly, this isn't really important...but I'm curious. ) |

Well my team has students from Parkview, Central, Pulaski Academy, North Little Rock, McClellan, in the past Robinson but not this year. That's 5 high schools from 3 districts plus a private school. We also have 2 colleges involved.

There are technically 3 high schools on our team, but there are really only 2 that participate. THe last one is our "alternative high school" that basically only is used by the pregnant girls and the juvi kids.

We, at 296, are a single-school team, though a small one. I too am curious about multiple-school teams. I would think that it would be very complicated due to transportation issues to have team meetings, build sessions, etc if the team members are scattered all around (but I live in a big city, so what do I know).

Our team is just one high school, however we're the only high school in our district (and within a twenty mile radius!).

Our team contains members only from our high school. However, there are other high schools nearby (within 20 miles).

palisades hs? woooow.. my cousin goes there =) thats pretty cool, and 188 is doing an exchange with 22, so we are going to attend the socal regional in 2005 barring any kind of travel restriction or whatever
but back to the topic at hand. it seems to me that the vast vasty majority of Canadian teams are from one school only. from the TDSB alone, (toronto board) we probably have around 40-60 teams (most rookies this year) that function on their own =). which is kind of funny when you think about it, because the average population of a high school here is about the size of a middle school in CA (or so my cousin tells me..hehe) but yeah, as far as i know, there may only be a couple of multi school teams. 188 is all woburn people.. etc etc. |

I got all of you beat at 5 schools. Waverly, Athens, Troy, Towanda, and NorthEast Bradford. Yes, they are all different districts. Waverly, Athens, Troy, and NorthEast Bradford are all about 30 minutes from Towanda (that's where most meetings are held).
Oh, and you can also say we cover two counties...and, come to think of it, two states (Waverly is in NY, the rest are in PA). |

Would you believe 14?
MOE has you all beat. It varies, but last year we had 14 different schools represented from 3 different states, including one home-schooled.

Re: Would you believe 14?
Oconomowoc would be 1 high school, but our district is huge. So about 100 sq. miles with kids from 3 different WI counties.

Re: How many high schools are involved in your team?
1 SCHOOL!!
And do you know why??? Because our very uninformed and un-openminded BOE has resrictions on our team, going against the whole principal of the expansion of FIRST!! In the past we had team members from 2 other schools, but were told that they were to be "grandfathered" into our team, and then no other students from those schools would be allowed to join our team. Now what gets me is, the kids we had on our team from the other schools lived in the same town as the kids in our "main" HS (they went to a trade school, and one went to a parochial school in another town) but the funny thing is - their parents still pay taxes in our town and they are entitled to the same rights that the kids in our town that go to the "main" school are they not?? Now the funny thing is this year, we have a kid on our team who used to go to one of those other schools last year, but basically "came back" to the "main" school just to be part of the team... How sad and/or great is that?? He was forced to go to this HS just because he wanted to be on our team.. What do you think of this?? Have any on of your school districts pulled this kind of garbage on you?? (And let's not even go into the fact that because we are a "non-profit" non-school sanctioned team - re: not school funded, that we have to pay and extra (large) fee to use the school if we want to use it on the weekends... But I'll leave that for another thread..) |
