Making it to Regionals — whether in athletics or academics — is a huge accomplishment. In UIL Academics, reaching Regionals means you are among the top 18 students in your event across the region! This past weekend, our team of 16 Falcons competed at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches across a variety of events. We are proud to celebrate their success:
We are also proud to announce that we have two STATE qualifiers, who will compete at the UIL Academics State Meet – May 19, 2025
