Our Whitcomb Middle School robotics teams had a successful weekend at the State competition, competing against 32 teams. Team 4344A finished in 8th place, while Team 4344C placed 20th. Additionally, Team 4344A won the Judges' Award.

At the high school level, our team won the Sportsmanship Award but narrowly missed qualifying for the world competition by just one point. We are proud to announce that they were one of the very few public school teams to perform at such a high level, and they remain in the top 5% worldwide for skills scores.

Congratulations to our talented students and to their supportive advisors, Ms. Joanne Mahoney and Mr. Kyle Mager, respectively! Thank you for demonstrating not only what a public school education can provide, but specifically what MPS has to offer our students.
