Academic UIL

 

What is Academic UIL?

 

Academic UIL gives students a chance to learn, make connections with peers, receive guidance from teachers, and have experience applying their knowledge with students from other schools.  Team members participate in competitions in various content areas including Math, Science, Language Arts, Social Studies and Art knowledge. Summaries of the events and the competition day's schedule are at the bottom of this page.

Contests:

The other Intermediate campus will not be competing this year. So there will not be any 5th grade events at the 22-23 UIL competition. If you have a 5th grader that is interested in any of the 5-8 events, please have them complete the interest form! UIL allows students to compete up a grade level, so all interested students should try out for the UIL Team! Contact Mrs. Croft or Mrs. Woods for more information.
