Esports (electronic sports) is a varsity-level high school program for competitive video gaming supported by Mahtomedi Community Education for students in grades 7-12. Esports challenges students to think strategically, solve problems in real time, and collaborate. The team is advised by Mahtomedi High School Math Teacher Mike Isola, with chess coaching from Noah House (Class of 2025 student and 2025 State Chess Champion).
