At our school we have come a long way! With the support of the community, we have grown to support over 50 students at our school. We currently have 8 teams across 6 different video game titles (Overwatch, League of Legends, Smash Bros., Rocket League, Madden, and Splatoon). Each game has a coach and meets several times per week for practice and organized league games against other high schools. We have worked hard and spent our own money to create a lab that supports all of these amazing esports athletes and NO COST to the student/family for anything. Students who have participated in our e-sports programing have shown large improvements in grades, attendance, and an expressed sense of belonging. Additionally these students are developing soft skills that they would not otherwise develop. Skills such as communicating with a team, handling disappointment, accountability/ follow through, sportsmanship in victory, and many other skills that can only be developed by competing in a team environment. Since returning from Covid, student demand and engagement for e-sports has surpassed what we can currently support. By helping to fund this project, you will be helping us acquire an additional gaming device that will allow us to expand the program to include more students.
