Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is a federal and state holiday today, so a number of local institutions will be closed, including the school system and the college. Did you know the federal holiday honoring King was signed into law in 1983, but it was not until 2000 that all 50 states recognized the holiday, the last being South Carolina?

Our teams continue to excel at regional, national and international competitions. This weekend some of our teams were in Pennsylvania and downstate Maryland and did exceptionally well. Here’s a photo of some of our great coaches and students at the Upper Saint Clair FTC Qualifier in Pennsylvania! They won 1st place and are moving on to the PA state competition! Way to go!
