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:
“Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
