Robot Competition Hosted at Montgomery Catholic

Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School was proud to host a Vex Robotics state qualifying tournament in the Dolly Barranco Activity Center at the Middle/High School campus in early January 2017.

Led by faculty members Dr. Joe Profio and Mr. Rob Russell, Montgomery Catholic's "Robo Knights" hosted the first robotics event at Montgomery Catholic and only the second of its kind in the region.  The Knights competed with four of the 18 teams present from four visiting schools—Brew Tech,
Enterprise, Ohatchee, and St. James high school. The whole community came together with parents, students, and faculty serving as volunteer referees, announcers, event staff and even kitchen crew.
Montgomery Catholic expressed gratitude  to the staff and students from Brew Tech who were willing to share equipment and expertise to help MCPS make the event such a successful one.

The Knights and their robots finished well, with three of four teams represented in the final four matches—well done!

Mission: Founded in 1873, Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School is an integral part of the Catholic Church's mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  As an adult community, we share in the responsibility to prepare students for college and beyond while helping them grow to become persons of faith, virtue and wisdom.
