Program Accolades
The Air Force Association's CyberPatriot is one of the most prestigious cyber competitions in the world. Our cyber science program has consistently placed teams in the regional and national finals of this competition at both the high school and middle school levels. During the 2018–19 academic year, two of our teams qualified for the Open Division National Finals out of a combined 6,535 teams. LBCSI has also sent another team to national finals in 2024. We have now sent nine teams to the national finals in the last thirteen years—a truly remarkable feat.
