UIL Academics

Students compete in the UIL Academics meet in March for district and, if placing in the top three, will then advance to the regional meet in April. For students who place in the top three at regionals, they will advance to the state meet in May. (A fourth place finisher may attend the advancing meet as an alternative with the possibility to compete if a qualifier does not show.)

Students interested in competing should contact that contest's coach (next to the event) and plan to spend time studying and preparing for their respective contest(s). Only students who have committed by the end of February and have been practicing with their respective coach(es) will be allowed to compete for that academic year. If a student is interested in a contest with no designated coach, the student should see Ms. Herbert.
