Flying into the new 2022-2023 school year, drone club sponsor, Abigail Morris worked diligently to take her students to the next level. As she geared her students up to compete in the REC Foundation Aerial Drones Competition, Morris soon encountered some obstacles. Morris was stuck in a “No Fly Zone,” due to the lack of funds that would help her students be adequately prepared to use the drones.

Even through this challenge, Abigail and her students persevered, and in their second competition, they qualified for nationals. In April, they competed for the 2023 Aerial Drones National Championship coming in second overall.

Whether she is teaching her 11th grade digital electronics class or sponsoring her robotics and drone clubs, Abigail Morris strives to instill passion and creativity into her Westside High School students. Morris encourages her students to think outside the box and excel.
