Rolla Robotics

Sponsor – Mrs. Carpenter – Email Mrs. Carpenter

               FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is the name of the International competition that involves the creation of robots that typically must fit inside an 18” cube.  In the robot 2.5 minute match, the robot can expand to a larger size and will move both autonomously and by being driven, to achieve various tasks.  These tasks change each season.

                Each of the 4 Rolla Robotics FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) teams are made up of 10 students, grades 8 – 12.  If spots are available, 7th graders can be interns.  Student members are chosen through an application & interview process.  

              The FTC season runs from the second Saturday in September through the end of April, each year.  Teams in Missouri compete in 2 smaller competitions called “meets” and one larger competition, where judging also takes place, called a “qualifier.”  Based on performance in these events, a Missouri team may advance to the MO State FTC competition and then possibly to the World Competition in Houston, TX.

             All 4 Rolla Robotics FTC teams meet on Sundays and Tuesdays, at a minimum.  Their meetings are held at the Rolla Technical Institute.

The main coach/lead of Rolla Robotics is Leigh Ann Carpenter.  ([email protected])

Drama Club

Email Mrs. Pitts       Email Mrs. McNeven

Drama Club allows students to participate in two productions per school year: a holiday show and a district-wide show. Participation could include acting or being part of the production team (set building/design, costumes, makeup, lighting, etc). This year’s holiday show is an original script written by senior Thespians from RHS. There will be an audition workshop on October 28th in room 148 at RJH. Auditions will be held the next day in the same location. If students commit to be part of that show, rehearsals will be every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:15- 4:15 at RJH throughout the month of November. In December, rehearsals will be every day after school until 6 until our production on December 12th at 7 p.m.

Auditions for the district-wide production of Alice in Wonderland will be in March. If students are selected to participate in that production, the rehearsal schedule will be more rigorous with higher expectations. That schedule will be set by the beginning of March before auditions.

Drama Club requires a serious commitment from both students and parents, and students must be picked up from rehearsals on time.

See Mrs. Pitts for further information and details.
