The robotics team at Woodrow Wilson High School earned a state championship at the inaugural state summer robotics program hosted by University Interscholastic League.

This year’s game required different school teams to complete tasks together to earn points. The RoboCats were teamed with Clear Creek ISD in League City, Greenville High School and Harlandale ISD from San Antonio. Woodrow Wilson High School students Julianna Sweeney, Rance

Land participated in the Mayor’s Intern Fellowship Program this summer. The fellowship offers a variety of experiences for students. Sweeney, who is a senior cheerleader at Woodrow and worked in the UT Southwestern Human Resources department, says she feels like she has received a great deal of experience in the real world of employment. “I have been able to see how the hospital hires and fires people and learn more about the employment process.” Miguel has been put on a special project for the communications department where she interviews other interns on camera, edits the clips and creates a video meant to recruit other interns and young employees to her summer employer. “I was kind of nervous at first, I had never interviewed anyone, but I have become more professional and experienced in my time here,” she says.
