E-Sports has arrived in Kyrene School District, and our students (and staff!) could not be more thrilled! 🎮 The district-wide program just wrapped up its first year, and brought together 6-8 grade students from across Kyrene to participate in some friendly, virtual competition. E-Sports is about more than just gaming; it's a gateway to careers in software development, engineering, graphic design, and more. By participating in our E-Sports program, students will gain valuable experience in problem-solving, strategic thinking, and collaboration—skills that are essential for success in the 21st century. But don't take it from us - check out what our students and coaches have to say about E-Sports in Kyrene! Thank you to our incredible partners and neighbors at Intel Corporation for helping make this program possible for the 2023-24 school year!
