Cyber Patriots Await Final Results

By: Marc Ayala

Congratulations to all of
our DRSS Cyber Patriots teams for another successful competition season. Our high school teams earned Second, Third, and Fourth place in the State Competition round and moved on to the highest tier regional round! Both middle school teams also moved on to their semi-finals round. The three high school teams and both middle school teams competed February 20th and 21st, and are waiting to receive the round’s results. If these teams manage to score high enough, their hard work during the school year could win them a trip to Washington D.C. for the national competition. 


Cyber Patriots is a national competition where middle schools and high schools students are tasked with the job of an IT professional, finding security vulnerabilities in computer systems and troubleshooting network problems in only six hours.

DRSS would like to thank the students, adult mentors, and volunteers for making this season one of our most successful through their dedication and hard work. Cyber Patriots is open to anyone, especially students who may be interested in Cyber Security or a related field. We are looking forward to the start of the 2016-2017 season this coming Fall and hope you can join!
