VEX Robotics Championship Volunteer
Erie High School is proud to host the 2026 VEX Robotics High School Championship on March 6th–7th at EHS! This major event is an exciting opportunity to showcase the incredible talent of our students and highlight the excellence of our school programs—not just in Erie, but across SVVSD.
Hosting an event of this scale takes a team effort, and we can’t pull it off without the support of volunteers. Whether you can help for a few hours or a full day, your time and support will play a vital role in making this championship a success for our students and visiting teams.
