Scholastic Esports
At San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, we are proud to lead the way in supporting districts with meaningful esports implementation that creates opportunities for students to thrive. Rooted in our commitment to student success, our SBCSS Esports is built on the Four Pillars of an Impactful Esports Program: School Connection, College & Career Readiness, Family & Community Engagement, and Supporting the Whole Child.
We believe that esports can be a powerful, positive force in education—strengthening school communities, engaging students academically and socially, and opening doors to future careers. Our program offers comprehensive support for districts, including professional development for coaches, virtual competitive play, and in-person tournaments that foster teamwork, leadership, and digital citizenship.
We proudly collaborate with districts across the county, celebrating and supporting their unique ideas and growth. Whether you're starting a new program or expanding an existing one, we are here to help you build an inclusive and sustainable esports ecosystem that makes a lasting impact on students’ lives.
SBCSS Esports Symposium & Tournament
The 3rd Annual SBCSS Esports Symposium & Tournament effectively showcased the SBCSS Esports framework for building a meaningful and sustainable K-12 esports program. Centered around Four Pillars, School Connection, Reaching the Whole Child, College & Career Readiness, and Family & Community Engagement; the 3rd Annual Esports Symposium & Tournament on May 3, 2025, brought together students, families, educators, and industry partners in a celebration of competitive gaming, college and career exploration, and inclusive community engagement.
Tournament play, including bracketing and match management, was provided by Generation Esports (now PlayVS). The event featured middle and high school Super Smash Brothers Ultimate (SSBU) 1 v 1 competitions. Professional shoutcasting was provided by Jordan “FBI_Tugboat” Fitzpatrick, who worked with students to comment on the happenings of the matches.
This event demonstrated how competitive gaming can serve as a powerful intersection of education, student development, and community involvement. By strengthening school connectedness, promoting post-secondary pathways, and creating inclusive spaces, the event continues to exemplify best practices in educational esports.
