In our Introduction to Cyber Security class, students participate in Mountain Gap's CyberPatriot Club. This year we have 3 teams, and all 3 teams did well in the Introductory and 2 Preliminary competition rounds. Then, on December 13th, one of our teams--The "Scallywags"--placed 3rd out of 31 teams in the State Competition! They received a trophy for the school and participate in an awards ceremony at UAH in April. We can all be proud of the Scallywags!
All 3 of our teams qualified to advance to the National Semifinal Round on January 24th. Out of our 5 State Region (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee), our teams placed 5th, 8th, and 11th out of 28 qualifying teams.
It's been a great competition season for the Mountain Gap CyberPatriots, and we can all be proud of their success!
