• UIL Journalism Team 2021-2022 Meet Results

    Students compete in five journalism contests: Copy Editing, News Writing, Feature Writing, Editorial Writing and Headline Writing. To hone their skills, students will compete in practice meets, invitationals, and virtual meets before competing in district in March.
