In our inaugural year, the MCS MODeL Esports Team has proudly made its mark by participating in the Central California Esports League (CCEL) Tournament. Enoch High School's esports team faced off against Lincoln High School in Stockton for the highly anticipated CCEL Valorant Championship on May 27, 2023. Although the competition was fierce, Lincoln High emerged victorious with a 2-0 win, while Enochs put up a commendable performance.
This year, as we introduced esports to all MCS High Schools, both Beyer and Enochs rose to the playoffs. With over 15 high schools in the CCEL across Northern California, our schools have made a notable impact in the region.
During our first year of implementing esports programs for grades 3-12, we have witnessed remarkable student engagement. A total of 1,742 students involved in before and after-school programs and school team leagues. This data demonstrates that esports has successfully reached and engaged students who may have been harder to reach through traditional activities. Notably, 79% of our high school students were not previously involved in any other school activity.
