CyberPatriot Contest Winner: Mena High School Arkansas teachers have once again brought unprecedented enthusiasm to CyberPatriot! Within 24 hours, the quiz system reached its capacity and temporarily stopped accepting responses. While this is a wonderful challenge to face, we're actively working with CyberPatriot to find a solution. We’re thrilled to announce that the winner of this contest is Mena High School! Due to the technical issue, we have decided to conclude the current contest. Rest assured, we will hold another contest once we've resolved these challenges to ensure everyone can participate seamlessly. Students may still pursue CyberPatriot certification, and the quiz will reopen on December 1st. We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have a solution in place.
