A team of students from Bath County High School in Owingsville recently concluded an exceptional round of competition in the twelfth season of CyberPatriot – the Air Force Association’s National Youth Cyber Defense Competition.

Led by Coach Brian Coleman, the team of students from Bath County High School excelled in the CyberPatriot XII State Round held in December, demonstrating team-work, critical thinking, and technical skills needed for a successful career in cybersecurity. The team’s performance earned it Kentucky’s first place award in the Platinum Tier (the nation’s highest tier) and a spot in the National Semifinal Round held this month.

“I could not be more proud of this year’s team. To achieve such a high level of success in only their second year competing says a lot about their individual and team work ethic and their commitment to striving for excellence,” Coleman said.

Following the semi-final round, top teams in the Open and All Service Divisions’ Platinum Tier and the top three Middle School Division teams will advance to the CyberPatriot XII National Finals Competition in Rockville, Md., in March.
