<strong>Hersey</strong> Students place nationally in US Cyber Challenge.<br />
This past fall District 214 had over 30 students participate in the US Cyber Challenge. This new nationally<br />
based competition is web based, involving Network Fundamentals, Operating Systems and System<br />
Administration. Nate Gramer of <strong>John</strong> <strong>Hersey</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> was recognized as a state champion in the<br />
competition. Nate won a $250 VISA card as the State Champion.<br />
Students were given access to web based curriculum which uses youtube videos and other web based<br />
curricula to introduce students to Networking concepts, Windows, Linux and Unix operating systems and<br />
programming languages like PERL, JAVA and GNU BASH. The goal of the competition is to expose<br />
students to the tools needed to become a Network Security Specialist. Instructors in the Computer Repair<br />
and Cisco Networking programs worked through the material, attempting to fit lessons and material into<br />
their regular computer curriculum.<br />
The US Cyber Foundations Competition is the entry-level competition in a series of increasingly challenging<br />
contests sponsored by U.S. Cyber Challenge (USCC). USCC was chartered to identify and nurture<br />
America’s best and brightest who can become the future cyber policy leaders, cyber guardians and cyber<br />
warriors for United States companies, government agencies, and military services.<br />
