In 2008, SOTA created its own FRC team with the help of Team 360 from Bellarmine Preparatory School. They were Team 2557, SOTA Bots, with the robot they created known fondly as the SOTA Bot. The SOTA Bot came in second and won Rookie of the Year in the FIRST Microsoft Seattle Regional and went on to get 22nd place in their division in the Atlanta International Competition.
Since 2008, the SOTA Bots have kept up the same level of excellence, winning the Microsoft Seattle Regional in 2010, the Seattle Cascade Regional in 2012, and multiple awards for their Gracious Professionalism and their safety practices. In 2012 the SOTABOTS placed first in the Seattle regional.
Many students serve on state and district leadership boards including WASC, State Board of Education, and Student Representative to the Tacoma School Board.

Famous quotes containing the word student:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
