Academic UIL Week 1 was amazing and we had 100% participation.

Every contestant completed their event.

We should have results starting Tuesday from Week 1.

Week 2 is this week!

The spelling bee was supposed to be the Thursday we missed due to weather.

We have moved it to Tuesday, January 28th during 5th period.

We are the only school in the county competing, so this will be the Hill County Spelling Bee.

The winner will advance to the televised Dallas Regional Spelling Bee in March.

All contestants must turn in their permission form, signed by their parents, to Ms. Garza by this Friday, January 24th.
