Congratulations to these students and coaches, and the many other students who competed this week. A special congratulations goes out to Coach Roy Garza and his Number Sense and Calculator Apps teams for competing well and placing in the top 10, even though they were all mostly freshmen going up against juniors and seniors. We have high hopes for those two teams as they continue competing in UIL Academics for the years to come.
Students advancing to Region will compete at UTSA on April 13 & 14.
