Old Bridge High School in New Jersey transformed a small after-school esports club into a five course CTE pathway serving students across both high school and middle school. By adopting Gameplan, the district found a structured, flexible, and fully digital esports curriculum that increased student engagement, improved attendance, and opened doors to career readiness for students who previously felt disconnected from traditional sports and instruction.
