• The Shrapnel Sergeants were founded in 2007 by a physics teacher at Hazelwood West High School. The team originally consisted of seven devoted students, which has grown tremendously throughout the years, with over twenty team members to date. We have been honored with the opportunity to compete along tens of thousands of teams at the FIRST World Championships three times.
