[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When does your DC start HS? The CC thing is not certain and won't help much. It's mainly about making Arlington Tech a better program.

What sports does DC do? Some schools may be easier to make teams than other. And some sports are non-cut.[/quote]

I thought CC was adding 800 option seats? What do they do if it doesn’t happen?[/quote]

There is a whole long CIP thread on this, but basically APS revised down its need for HS seats and said the new 600 seats at W&L solve most of the immediate need. They planned to add just 350 more HS seats to CC, and were going to make the rest MS seats, which they decided they need more than HS seats. But the plan they proposed was not affordable (in addition to being stupid), so now back to the drawing board. I think they will end up doing something small for Tech and leaving the rest alone. All our enrollment projections right now suck. APS lost 2000 students to privates/moves in the pandemic, and there are lots of uncertainties.

W&L is going to be 600 kids bigger, which will make getting a JV sport in something like basketball probably impossible. But cross country, swimming, and track are all non-cut. Football is a huge number of kids, so maybe that team is makeable? All the schools have a lot of clubs. I would guess you could do drama or speech anywhere. Maybe even Crew?[/quote]
