Some of Wylie’s brightest minds traveled April 24-26, representing the Wylie Future Problem Solvers at the Texas Future Problem Solving Program State Bowl held in Austin. Groups competed in the Global Issues and Community Problem Solving contests alongside students from across the state.

Wylie’s FPS groups were derived from three schools; Davis Intermediate, Harrison Intermediate and McMillan Junior High,

In the Global Issues division students read a future scene, identified the challenges and posed viable solutions. They then evaluated solutions to create a written action plan to present to a specific audience.

The Community Problem Solving students applied their FPS skills and creativity to solve real problems within the community.

The McMillan students participating in Global Issues included Ainsley Halperin, Kylie Hamil, Montana McKay, Kwame Mensah, Charlotte Mosby, Skylar Shaw, Evelyn Slaughter, Blythe Tigert and Cal Vinson, semi-finalists.

Victor Ekpenyong, of the Global Issues Alternate Team placed 2nd.

The McMillan team is coached by Atlanta Tigert.
