Congrats on a job well done!

Sanddrag,
Virginia's Prince William County school system (plus the independent city systems in the county, and some private schools in the county) has many years of experience with a similarly diverse (ages and programs) suite of opportunities.
They do well at keeping their focus on the students, and take advantage of the best each of many programs has to offer.
I'm sure Denyse Carroll and the rest of the team there (here) would enjoy a chance to share their success stories, lessons learned, and other wisdom they have acquired.
Send a message to the address in my signature to get me to make the connection (Alternatively, you might try finding her (or me) through LinkedIn)

But please take into account that each year, the GDC has to come up with a rule book that will spend the next three months being picked apart by 40,000 of the brightest, most creative minds on the planet. I think they do an outstanding job of it. - dtengineering [more]
