HHS Robotics Team Members Invited to White House
Ten female students from FRC Team 116 (Epsilon Delta, Herndon High School and NASA Headquarters) were invited to participate in the celebration of the 37th anniversary of the Title IX legislation on June 23rd. Title IX was the portion of the Education Amendments of 1972 that guaranteed equal access to all educational programs for everyone, regardless of gender. This landmark legislation provided equal access to all educational resources for young women all across the country. The effects of Title IX, although most commonly connected with athletic programs, were felt in all aspects of education programs, including the STEM disciplines, career education, and access to scholarships. HHS students (Page Lightner, Jessica Nicholson, Katie Cleveland, Allie Grimes, Megan Lavery, MJ Sowder, Sara Sowder, Mary Brady, Amy Frankhouser, and Rachel Wallis were recognized by the panel as great examples of the effects of Title IX, and how it opened access to science and math education for young women.
