This was more than a gaming event; it was a statewide (some teams traveled hours to get to this event) celebration of student achievement, workforce readiness, career exposure, and the power of esports as an educational tool.

The planning stage has begun for the 6th Annual High School Esports Showcase, and we have some new and exciting ideas for next year.
