AN EXCITING SEASON FOR LIBERTY’S
ROBOTICS TEAM Kudos to the Liberty High Robotics Team for an exciting season! The team, in only its third year of existence, started its season in its first district competition by winning the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Team Spirit Award. The team’s performance in its 2nd district competition earned them a second place overall finish and impressed the judges enough to earn the FIRST Judges Award. These two performances qualified the team for the Pacific Northwest FIRST Robotics Regional competition in Portland. They battled well against the best in Oregon and Washington, ultimately finishing in the top third in the region. Again Liberty’s Team Sprit, perseverance and professionalism impressed the FIRST Judges and awarded them FIRST Gracious Professionalism Award. To cap off this fantastic season, team president Christine Chappelle, was selected as a “Dean’s List” finalist. The Dean’s List honors team students around the world for their example of leadership, professionalism and promoting the ideals of FIRST.
