Locke Cyber Patriots Finished in the Top 12 in the Nation Locke participated in a national competition called Cyber Patriot, a program of the US Dept. of Defense which challenges student teams to protect US Government computers from hackers.

Students on the team received laptops, college scholarships, and even got internship offers at Northrup Grumman because of their success.
