“We had a great experience with UIL this year and we are so proud of our students and their sponsor’s hard work,” said Wallace Assistant Principal and UIL Coordinator Shonda Rutledge. “This was a different type of competition where the schools participated on their own campuses and tests and materials were submitted as a virtual contest. All of the students that entered the competition rose to the occasion, working hard and putting forth their best effort. Our coaches also rose to the occasion by monitoring and administering the events. We are excited to follow these students and watch their successes in future UIL Events and Competitions.”
