Update 4/15: The chess team finished 2nd in the public league. Well done. It was a hard-fought year.
And, the RoboLancers team of 100 students have qualified for the world robotics championships in St. Louis and are desperately trying to raise $35,000 for the cost. Read about their efforts here.
Huge congratulations to the RoboLancers, a/k/a Team 321-Associated Alumni of Central High School/McKean Defense/Comcast & CENTRAL HS, for winning the District Chairman’s Award this weekend in competition at Upper Darby HS.
