Extracurricular activities
Robotics Cimarron-Memorial houses FIRST Robotics Competition Team 987, The HIGHROLLERS.
Founded in October 2001 by two teachers at Cimarron-Memorial High School, Marc Rogers and Joe Barry, team 987 was formed. The team had only nine students and two mentors at the time, had little funding, and no prior robotics experience. The team, which was initially called "Ultimus Acumen," persevered in spite of many obstacles such as a lack of funding and experience. They progressively gained the support of sponsors and the school through trial and error and early successes allowing the program to expand to host many teams from the area in workshops and create numerous STEM programs at Cimarron. They have built "The Shop" at Cimarron-Memorial where they have a field for that year's game and offer students hands on experiences with CNCs, Lathes, Mills, and much more. They celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2022.
The HIGHROLLERS, winning the World Championship in 2007, and being inducted into the FIRST Hall of Fame in 2016, rank in the top 10% of FIRST robotics teams worldwide.
