Dew Crew

The Dew Crew was formed in 2002 because students wanted a way to use their video skills, and provide a meaningful way to contribute to the football team. They volunteered to film the games from the sidelines and press box. The first showing at the annual Football Banquet was such a big hit that they quit inviting guest speakers to the banquet, and now count on the Highlight DVD for memories and inspiration.

VEX Robotics

The VEX Robotics Club is a new after school program here at Polk County High School. It offers our students a chance to get involved in a whole new world of robotics, so that they may expand their knowledge of robotics and meet other students interested in robotics.

According to VEX: "The VEX Robotics Design System offers students an exciting platform for learning about areas rich with career opportunities spanning science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). These are just a few of the many fields students can explore by creating with VEX Robotics technology. Beyond science and engineering principles, a VEX Robotics project encourages teamwork, leadership and problem solving among groups. It also allows educators to easily customize projects to meet the level of students' abilities. The affordable VEX platform is expanding rapidly and is now found in middle schools, high schools and university labs around the globe. Robotics hobbyists also appreciate the advanced capabilities of the VEX System."
