From CMS Engineering Eagles:
Wow! What a day!! 2019 State Championship is in the books! It was a very emotional day and things didn’t always run smoothly...two teams had issues with parts breaking on their robots, but thanks to a suggestion from a team from another school, they were able to fix the issues and make it to the finals! My other team had a disappointing match up that caused them to drop in the rankings for finals match up...BUT with all of the disappointments today, we had some really great moments! All three teams scored their highest skills scores of the season! 6th grade and 7th grade were chosen for interviews with the judges for their Engineering Notebook! 5th grade team...let me just say that if there was a most improved award, this team would get it!! They went from scoring single digits at their first competition this season to scoring in the mid 20s today! Out of 121 teams in Arkansas, 5th grade is 24th, 6th grade is 16th and 7th grade is 5th in Skills!! In teamwork, out of the 38 teams that competed in the State Championship, 5th grade finished 16th, 6th grade finished 10th, and 7th grade finished 4th!! And how about these WORLD Skills standings: out of 3,074 teams, 5th grade is 879, 6th grade is 605, and 7th grade is 133!! All of those standings are impressive!! To say that I am proud of all of them would be an understatement! With all of this said, we did not come home empty handed! My 7th grade team won the Design Award and they will advance to the World Championship in Louisville, KY!!! I am so excited for them! Their Engineering Notebook and original robot design are AMAZING!! Now we prepare for Nationals in Council Bluffs, Iowa for all three teams April 1-3 and then on to Worlds for 7th grade April 28-30!!
Congratulations to these teams! Way to go!



It is our hope that over the next several weeks CSD can share with our community, through Wednesday morning interviews with Dennis Maxwell on Q-Lite radio, our belief that the power of education is a pathway to a great quality of life. The many employees of CSD are dedicating their lives to inspire the next generation of students through the power of an education that provides them with the skills necessary to successfully transition to a post-secondary education or the workforce. Listen to Q-Lite each Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. and again at 9 a.m. on Thursday mornings on KAGH.
Listen to Spotlight on CSD on Q-Lite at 8 am today to hear from Kristi Clanton, CTE teacher at CHS.
