Congrats Michiganders, you’ve hit the 100-team mark, even with the down economy. Gail Alpert and others are working on a news article about FIRST in Michigan, and need to know the number of high schools involved in the state.
Some teams are registered as representing a specific school district, ex. Team 818 is “Warren Consolidated Schools.” We’d like to know the actual number of high schools affiliated with your team. Please reply as soon as you can! Thanks!
Edit:
Specifically, there are some teams that don’t list out their high schools, and these are the ones that we need the information on most, with regards to which high schools actually participate out of their district:
67- Huron Valley Schools
68- Oakland County Schools
217- Utica Schools
279- Toledo Schools
308- Walled Lake Schools
322- Flint Community Schools
326- Romulus Community Schools
858- Wyoming Public Schools
1189- Gross Pointe Schools
1227- Northview Schools and Forest Hills Schools
1286- Robotics Club
1322- G.R.A.Y.T. Leviathons
Also, if your team is affiliated with a school that is not in your team name, please mention that as well.
Jack is exactly right. Susan and I are working on this together. I can use the team list, but it doesn’t give me an accurate count. Susan sent out an email blast to the teams but I thought this might be a great place to post the question as well. I asked Alex to take care of it for me.
I am hoping to get a handle on this quickly as it really is a terrific news story. So all of you out there with multiple schools, PLEASE RESPOND!!!
1 - Oakland Schools Technical Center-Northeast (Since this is a school in itself, would you want the information on students ‘home’ high schools, as well?)
Team 1 would count as one High School, because that is the one they are affiliated with. Where the students come from only matters if their high school is involved in the specific team. International Academy is composed of over 10 supporting districts with over 20 high schools, but the only school actually involved with the team is IA.
For team 818 the following schools participate:
Warren Mott High School
Cousino High School
Sterling Heights High School
Career Prep Center
This was sent via my cell phone, so it may look wrong, but it’s the only INTERNET access Ive got on the road.
862 - Canton High School
Plymouth High School
Salem High School
We also take anyone living in the area who doesn’t go to the Big 3 schools. (Plymouth Christian Academy, Catholic Central, Ladywood, etc…) just because we think 70-80 students isn’t enough. (Why can’t I find a team to coach that is only 30 people…)
Team 67 technically encompasses students from 3 high schools – Milford High, Lakeland High, and Harbor High. I believe that the only time we had a Harbor High student on the team, however, was our rookie year, 1997.
Not2B started a list of our schools but here is the official list of past and present schools involved with our team.
862’s current membership is made up of students from:
Primary Schools:
Plymouth- Canton Educational Park, made up of:
Salem H.S. 2000-present
Canton H.S. 2000-present
Plymouth H.S. 2003-present
Secondary Schools:
Belleville H.S. 2006
Past Secondary Schools include:
Plymouth Christian Academy 2003-2005
Catholic Central H.S. 2004
Marian H.S. 2005
*Years are for FIRST seasons, not school years.
*Primary and Secondary schools refer to the level they were involved with our team. Primary schools have a lot of students on the team as well as help fund our team. Secondary schools have a few students on the team.
