Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

I attended two high schools (many, many years ago), due to a move with my family in my junior year. I am delighted to say that both high schools now have FRC Teams - Baldwin Senior High School, Baldwin, NY, now has Team 1546, and Rockville High School, Vernon, CT, has Team 173.

Has anyone else attended more than one high school and they all have FRC Teams?

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

My friend is moving at the end of this year to Milford, home of Hot team. So yes, there are FRC teams at both the schools he's been to. It's too bad, though...we're losing our battery changer

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Unfortunately, not both of mine. Sherrard (my old school) has been with team 648 since its inception. Moline was in 1999-2001 and I have been trying vigorously to get them to join in again.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

The school our team represents is actually made up of students from multiple highschools in the area.

There are many teams that are made up of students from multiple high schools (see this presentation given at the conference in Atlanta).

I'm just curious about people that have attended two (or more) high schools, both of which have teams.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

My brother and I started out at Appleton East (#93) but our family had to move halfway through my senior (his freshman) year. I graduated at semester, to avoid having to attend and graduate from another high school (for only a semester) and he now attends Pewaukee HS, home of #1259, Paradigm Shift. When our family was looking for houses, it was kind of nice because there are so many FIRST teams in this area (269, 537, 706, 930, 1091, 1259, 1268, 1675) so anywhere we would have moved, there would have been a FIRST team nearby.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Time to age myself
7 years ago when I was a freshman at Lake High School in NW Ohio (South of Toledo, were team #279 is from) i tried, in vain, to get my highschool to start a first team. I found out about it from my uncle who was a professor at the Coast Guard Academy.

Whats kinda funny about all this is: My parents moved from Macon, GA, to North Royalton, Ohio, then moved to Toledo. I moved to Kent, OH For college and got involved with NRHS Robotics this year. So i actually went to a grade school who's highschool would have a first team eventually Does that count?

Heh, I had the same thing that you did. Went to a grade school in Norwell, Mass, moved to Florida, 9th grade school didn't have a FIRST team, 10th grade school (current one) did.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

my freshman year I went to Mundelein high school out of Illinois and they did not have one there. Now I am at harrison who still does not have an official team yet( I am working on getting one started next year) but we feed into team 461 at west side. Hopefully someone from team 111 will read this post and try and get a team started over at Mundelein. It is only 40 minutes from schaumburg and rolling meadows. Than again the stevenson team would do just fine as well helping them get a team off the ground.

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Well...I haven't actually attended multiple high schools...(i'm currently finishing my senior year at ETEP Technology High in São José dos Campos, Brazil...) but the high school i would've attended, had my family stayed in the U.S., started a FIRST team this year (Team 1505 Roybotics, if i'm not mistaken...). I just thought that it was bit peculiar...that out of ALL of the hundreds of High Schools in Utah, RHS was the only one to participate....and out of the thousands of schools in Brazil i was fortunate enough to end up going to one with a FIRST team...! So I guess it didn't matter whether i moved or not...it was my fate! lol...

Small world...

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

I have been to three high schools.

My Junior year, at Saint Cloud high School was my first year involved in FIRST. I heard an announcement that they were starting a new robotics team, so I hopped on what became team 1390 and then forced my friends to get involved as well. During my junior year there was a new school being reconstructed equal distance from my house in the new town of Harmony. My house, as well as my friends' houses, were all rezoned for Harmony High School, however the incoming seniors had a choice of where they could go to school.

After toiling with the choice for some time, I think my final decision maker was after the Championship last year, I could only stay for the first two days and then had to come back home to Florida at watched the rest over webcast. I knew where I had to go after hearing Dean's speech and his homework assignment was to "start new teams." My friends and I from 1390 that were zoned for Harmony (3 seniors) decided to go.


My freshman and Sophomore years I spent in Bartlesville Oklahoma. Currently there is no FIRST team there, however I have given speeches last summer and plan to do so again this summer. I am working with other FIRSTers in Oklahoma to get a team going in my old school. It is great that I have been given the opportunity to do all the things and meet all the people I have, but I feel it is important to bring back experiences and try to share with the people in one's hometown. After all, Dean's homework this year again is to "start new teams."

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Hi - my son Tyler attended Highland High School in California and started team #1110 because they didn't have a FIRST team - we moved to Utah nearly two years ago and Tyler started team #1505 at Roy High School. Pretty cool huh - if the school doesn't have a team - just start one. The second team took much longer to get started though - I'm guessing because Utah didn't have any other teams and had never heard of it before. We're going to move again this summer back to California and I've found a FIRST team in Anaheim where we will be going - maybe my other two kids will go to that school.......

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

When I was in high school, i attended 2 high-schools simultaniouslly. Brandon High (formerly 1010) and OSMTech academy (27). WFA recipent Kyle Hughes was my math teacher for 4 years!

Oddly enough, I wasn't on either of these teams. I was recruited by Truck Town, team 68.

Waaaaaay easier said than done, but fantastic spirit nonetheless. And Pattie, just for the record, I did follow your advice. My high school had a team, my college, nor any area high schools didn't. That's a tough one to try but fantastic opportunity if you can pull it off

Re: Have You Attended Multiple High Schools? Do They Have FIRST Teams?

Hi Beth,

Yes it is very hard work to make it happen - and I'm sure luck and timing have a whole lot to do with it - but its SO WORTH IT! I don't think I'd be nearly as impressed with our efforts if it had come easy....... If you impress yourself you've done a good job!

Good luck to ya!
