From March 12th to 14th, the Red Jacket Robotics Team proudly represented our school at the highly competitive Robotics Finger Lakes Regional Competition, held at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
The team delivered an outstanding performance, finishing the challenging three-day event with an impressive 5–4 match record. This marks the team's best performance since the 2014 season, highlighting the significant growth and dedication of our current students and mentors.
Competing against a field of 55 talented teams, including participants from across the United States and internationally, Red Jacket secured a final ranking of 29th. This strong mid-field placement in such a high-caliber event is a testament to the students' hard work, strategic design, and successful execution on the competition field.
We extend a hearty congratulations and deep gratitude to our brilliant students and dedicated advisors for a phenomenal showing. Your collaborative spirit, technical skill, and commitment created a truly memorable and successful weekend for Red Red Jacket Robotics!

On Monday, March 16, several juniors took a trip to Rochester to visit the NACAC college fair. Students who attended the trip described this opportunity as a nice experience although felt disheartened to learn that some of their friends who were initially interested in going were unable to attend. For the remaining juniors who ended up attending the college fair, they had a wonderful time talking and meeting with the college representatives and learned about the abundance of programs that were available at each university. Students were given more insight as to what they would like to study in college, opening the window for these students to acquire a higher degree of success in getting into the college of their liking.
