Teachers pitch in to keep robotics team at DSA
In 2014, Detroit School of the Arts was at risk of losing its Robotics Team due to its coach retiring. To continue the team needed someone to fill in as coach, a Detroit Public Schools employee was the team’s only option. Mr. Holden, the former robotics team coach himself, wanted Detroit School of Arts to maintain their team. He asked all the math and science teachers if they would be willing to coach the team. After being turned down Dr. Reynolds, Detroit School of Arts suggested Lemmons. Lemmons later agreed to be the coach and Holden would assist her. Thus began the Detroit School of Arts new coaching team, “HoldenLemmons.”
