What is cyberpatriot? Here is what the CP website says:
Eastwood has had one of the top ten cyberpatriot teams in 3 years. Teams at Eastwood have gone as far as to qualify for Platinum Regionals which is basically being in the top 9% of the country's thousands of cybepatriot teams.
Cyberpatriot is considered a prioritized extracurricular activity at Eastwood, which means Eastwood's CP program is adequately funded and adequately recognized. There is no direct way to sign up for the activity other than talking with Ms. Harvey. It is recommended you take the technology pathway instead of the engineering pathway if you wish to participate in cyberpatriot as you may allocate class time for this extracurricular activity.

At the center of CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition. The competition puts teams of high school and middle school students in the position of newly hired IT professionals tasked with managing the network of a small company. In the rounds of competition, teams are given a set of virtual images that represent operating systems and are tasked with finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities within the images and hardening the system while maintaining critical services. Teams compete for the top placement within their state and region, and the top teams in the nation earn all-expenses paid trips to Washington, DC for the National Finals Competition where they can earn national recognition and scholarship money.
