In a rural area, it's a necessity. We meet in a workshop provided by a sponsor, also in a classroom at one of the schools. We have worked hard to eliminate cliques and overcome rivalry, and we are proud to say it's hard to tell where the students come from by looking at the way they interact. We are not an "official" school activty. We get some administrative support from one of the schools, but are an independent "club" with our own board of directors, including some students. I feel that a multi school team is very feasible and would encourage you.

BTW, we have experienced some of the same puzzling lack of public support mentioned by Bill Beatty. Only one science teacher (who is very involved) out of three schools seems to take any real interest in what we are doing. We're working on it.
