Gratitude & Powerful Connections at Warrior Outreach Ranch
We are so thankful to celebrate our newest SEED Partner, Warrior Outreach Ranch.

🤖🐯 A strong start for HC Carver Robotics!
Harris County Carver Middle School’s robotics teams excelled at their first tournament of the season in Montgomery!
🏅 7th Grade: 5th place out of 25 teams
🏅 8th Grade: 6th place out of 25 teams
With only one returning student, this was the very first tournament for nine of our robotics students! Competing against experienced teams—including students whose robotics journeys began in third grade—our Tigers showed teamwork, determination, and problem-solving skills.
Despite some early mechanical challenges, both teams worked together, made adjustments, and delivered strong performances. What an exciting beginning for this group of young engineers!
Thank you, Mr. McCalla, for all you do to coach, encourage, and challenge our students! Your dedication helps our young engineers build skills, confidence, and teamwork.
Next up: Saturday, October 31, in Alpharetta, where our Tigers will build on this success!
📸 Pictured is our 8th grade team: Back row, left to right—Matthew Miller, Jasper Bullington, and Michael Chandler; kneeling—Colt Westad.
