Students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, competed in UIL academics at Bandera this past Saturday, Dec. 1.

“Not every competitor was able to make it to the first meet, but those who did helped SVHS start off strong,” UIL academic coordinator and science teacher L. Sellers said. “Our students are tough competitors, and this season looks to be one of success.”

The next meet is Jan. 26 at Canyon High School and entry forms are available now. Anyone can find them outside of Sellers’ room in A202.
