What's Happening This Month:

Big things happening that you don't want to miss out on!


The FRC robot is coming together quite nicely. There are a few modules that we are waiting on some funds to be able to purchase, but we hope to get that cleared up shortly.


The FTC teams are all competing in their League Championships on February 2nd at Lubbock High. This is an all-day event with a full awards ceremony at the conclusion. Stay tuned for more info on how you can help with the concessions. Also, if you are able, please come to the Dining Hall on Friday after school to pitch in and help out with setup. The more hands we have, the quicker things will go.

Event Information

FTC League Championships

This event will include interviews and judging in the morning alongside the usual robot and field inspections. We also need to be prepared for judges to visit the teams in the pits later in the afternoon. If anyone wants to donate to the donuts for breakfast drive, please let me know. Also, if you have ideas for lunch for the team, please speak up as well. This event, we hope, will conclude around 6pm and then we will be required to help with cleanup and reset of the dining hall.

Event Information

FTC Area Championships

Teams will need to qualify at the League Champs in order to compete at this event.


We will be competing agains teams from the panhandle, down through the Permian Basin, and over to the El Paso area.


This day will look a lot like the League Champs but with more folks and higher stakes. This event will send qualifiers to the state championships after Spring Break.


Ideas for breakfast/lunch? Please don't keep them secret.


This event will include awards and presentations. In years past, this has concluded around 7pm. The good news is that since we aren't the hosts, while it is encouraged, we don't *have* to stay and help with tear down and cleanup (beyond our own pit areas, of course).
