History

In 1997, the GM Desert Proving Ground sets out to find local High Schools interested in starting a F.I.R.S.T. Robotics team. Highland High School and Queen Creek High School take GM's offer to start a team. Thus a team is born and dubbed "The Gila Monsters" the students and team begin working on Gila I.

Over the years the Gila Monsters have represented themselves well - wining spirit awards, engineering awards, regional competitions, and finishing in the top 8 teams at the nationals on 3 occasions. The team is also active in local charitable, business, and civic events. There are now three High Schools, Desert Ridge High School, Highland High School, and Queen Creek High School, that make up the Gila Monsters.
