The UIL Challenge

This year, we are needing coaches for different UIL academic competitions. You will find a list of competition and the website that explains each competition at the end of this email. I challenge every teacher to select at least one competition and try a sample test, or writing prompt. These competitions are no joke, they are quite challenging.

If you would like to join the UIL team, we will have a meeting Wednesday after school in room 341 after school to talk about competitions, recruitment of students, and everything else that needs to be done for a successful year.
