Lancaster High School Esports
At Lancaster High School in Antelope Valley, technology underpins both general instruction and specialized Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in Esports, 3D design, and cybersecurity. With 2,700 students, the school required advanced systems to support its rigorous academic and technical curriculum. However, outdated technology created challenges, including insufficient performance and an outdated appearance in the Esports lab.
Seeking a solution, Mario Villalobos, Network Technician, and Esports Advisor, turned to MSI after receiving strong recommendations. MSI delivered high-performance gaming desktops of their Codex R 12th series, featuring Intel® Core™ i5-12400F processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4060 graphics card, complemented by sleek, modern designs. “The entire package really came together,” Villalobos said. “You were our first choice, and I’m glad we got what we wanted.”
The impact of the MSI gaming desktops has been significant. Students now have access to powerful machines that reduce lag times and allow for seamless use of advanced applications, greatly enhancing their productivity and engagement. “It’s good to tell students, “We have legitimate PCs used in professional settings,’” Villalobos noted. This credibility boost has contributed to greater student interest and participation as they recognize the high standards and professional tools available to them.
Looking ahead, Villalobos envisions even more integration of MSI solutions across the school’s CTE program. While the Esports lab is well-equipped, he sees potential to expand into other instructional areas, such as CAD and 3D design, where reliable processing power is essential. “We don’t necessarily need a flashy computer but rather a workhorse that can handle 3D design,” Villalobos said. Expanding the partnership with MSI would allow Lancaster High to elevate its technical curriculum further, equipping students with the tools they need to be prepared for industry demands.
