PURPOSE OF ATHLETICS AT HOLMES/NSITE HIGH SCHOOL

The Holmes/NSITE High School Athletic Program plays an integral part of a student's total educational experience and in their development as well-rounded students.  

The purpose of our athletic program is to leave a legacy of success in the lives of our student-athletes.  

We work to promote high academic standards along with developing strong character. Our coaches are committed to developing our young men and women to be the best possible student, athlete, and citizen they can possibly become through the spirit of competition. Coaches will motivate our student/athletes to always put forth their best effort in the development of their character, talents, and academic success. 

We are extremely proud of our Holmes/NSITE High School student-athletes because of the poise, character, and self-discipline they exhibit during competitions. They exemplify what it means to be a well-rounded student at Holmes/NSITE High School.

CYBERPATRIOT 

Since 2009, CyberPatriot’s National Youth Cyber Defense Competition has challenged teams of two to six students to secure simulated computer systems and resolve real-life cybersecurity situations faced by industry professionals. The competition provides students hands-on experience securing computer networks while exciting, educating, and motivating them toward careers in cybersecurity and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. 

The National Final Competition is the only in-person round, where teams compete to defend virtual networks and mobile devices from a professional aggressor team. The National Finalists also face-off in three additional competition components: the Cisco Networking Challenge, the Leidos Digital Forensics Challenge, and the Facebook Cybersecurity Challenge.

The CyberPatriot competition provides students with skills that can be used in the work force once they graduate high school.

In turn, the students compete for scholarships by composing a business plan to possibly start a business of their own in the future.  The students meet several  times after school with women business owners to develop business etiquette tips, learning about collaboration, team building, and brainstorming business ideas to begin the dream of becoming an entrepreneur and making it a reality. 

There are several chapters of the organization throughout the United States. Please contact Ms.Braun kelly.braun@nisd.net for more NAWBO information or visit www.nawbosa.org

The San Antonio and surrounding area large and small corporate community pulls together to reach our future innovative business leaders of  NSITE.

The school provides an opportunity for students and mentors to have lunch together on the NSITE campus approximately once a month from September to May.
