UIL Current Issues and Events
To prepare for UIL, during the school year we do virtual competitions with an average of one test per month. For UIL, we are now allowed to enter 6 students at District, but only the top 4 scores will determine the team's placement/ranking. The 1st place team and the invidiual students placing 1st through 3rd place advance to UIL Region, where the same rules apply for advancing to UIL State. The contest rules are available on the UIL website: https://www.uiltexas.org/academics/academic-contests/current-issues-and-events
