I'm the coach of a high school Cyber Patriot team and it is really interesting.
The high-schoolers are more hungry for information and more interested than the College CCDC team I work with (a very top team).
With that being said, there are so many outlets for these younger hackers to practice. CTFs everywhere on the internet, cyber challenges are all over the internet, and there is always something completely new to learn (Oh...you learned WebSec pretty well...but what do you know about exploit development).
The problem is we need more people who know what they are doing to work closely with the high school students and keep them focused and keep them exploring the discipline.
A bored student without Allen Pallers thing here will usually be a bored student with it. The CyberAces weekend in my state is in March. What are my high schoolers supposed to do until then if they are truly bored?
