High, Middle & Elementary School CyberPatriot Teams
Troy hosts the most CyberPatriot teams of any school in the US. We are expecting to host 60 teams in 2021-22.
CyberPatriot Practices will be in two phases this year:
SEASON: September-January: one day per week. See the /schedule page for details.
Middle Schools: September-January. See the /schedule page for details.
Team Composition: Students will specialize in one of three areas: Windows operating systems, Linux operating systems, or network security. Students choose which are they want to focus on. We generally need students to learn Linux or Cisco to help balance their team's abilities.
Teams will have 5-6 students, including specialists in Windows, Linux and CISCO. Formal team assignments will be made in October.
CyberPatriot Competitions are 6 hours long. Only 5 students can compete at the same time, so most teams will "sub" a player at the 3 hour mark. We charge $6 per students to pay for pizza, snacks and drinks during the competition. Parents are needed to shop for the snacks and pick up pizza.
