2021-21 UIL Academics
Every great journey begins with a first step, and the visionaries who built the League recognized that the first steps toward educational excellence must begin early. Academic competition for younger students was a part of the UIL program almost from the beginning, with the first junior division contest for students aged 10-14 in 1913. The first competition for students under age 10 was Spelling, which began a sub-junior division in 1921.
The program of academic competition for elementary, middle school and junior high officially became "A+ Academics" in 2008. Approximately 3,000 Texas schools participate in A+ Academics, competing in more than 300 district meets each year.
Did you know that students who compete in UIL academic events at the high school level are able to apply for a TILF Scholarship if they advance to the state level? Many of the UIL academic events at the high school level are similar to the K-8 A+ Academic events.
The 2021-22 Quad County UIL A+ Academic Meet is scheduled for February 22 and 24 at Brewer Middle School -- events for both days will take place after school so no instructional time will be lost for students.
Students can compete in the following events (click on an event to learn more):
- Mathematics
- Number Sense
- Calculator Applications
- Dictionary Skills
- Listening
- Maps, Graphs, & Charts
- Oral Reading
- Science
- Spelling
- Chess Puzzles
- Art
- Impromptu Speaking
If you think your Tison student would be interested in competing in any of these events, please complete the Google form below so that I can refer them to the coach for that event. If you have any questions about UIL academics, please email me (lgreer@weatherfordisd.com).
