The K-State high school programming contest is open to all high school students. Each team will consist of up to four students with only one laptop per team. There are two divisions: a beginning division consisting of students who have completed at most one semester of programming and have no more than one year programming experience, and an advanced division open to all high school students. You have to provide your own computers and software.

A group of 16 students from WRHS traveled to Kansas State University on November 5 to compete in their annual programming competition. They were given programming problems and had a time limit to solve them, they were awarded points based on how accurately and quickly problems were solved.

There were four teams. Advanced Team 1: Grayson Huey, Joel Jijo, Shrutha Bangalore, Lee Napier. Beginner Team 1: Olivia Martinez, Mary Martinez, Lasya Rapolu, Manaswini Koduru. Advanced Team 2: Jackson Tuckwin, Nicholas He, Tanner Haddock, Brady Haag. Beginner Team 2: Kieran Dillon, Kael Harman, Jace Jackson, Gabriel Parman.

Third place went to Beginner Team 2 in the beginner division. Marking one of the first times WRHS has scored top three at the K-State Programming Competition. They all also each received $1,000 scholarships toward tuition at K-State, as part of their prize.
