Elementary students at the Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District had a strong start to their academic competition career during the University Interscholastic League (UIL) District Meet on Saturday Feb. 1.
Hosted by Memorial Middle School, fifth grade students had the opportunity to participate in a variety of competitions at a UIL regulation modeled event. Areas of academic competition included art, music memory, ready writing, oral reading, spelling and listening.
The students earned points by placing first through sixth in their events. The school’s rank depended on the total amount of points that the students accumulated.
In the Small Campus Division, Jefferson accumulated a total of 101.5 points and placed first. Zavala earned a total of 76.5 points and placed second. Wilson took third place with a total of 76 points.
In the Large Campus Division, Long placed first with a total of 163 points. Stuart Place earned second place with 120 points. With 73 points, Lamar took third place.
All 17 of our HCISD elementary schools attended this competition.
The schools were categorized as a small campus if their campus did not exceed 499 students. Campuses that exceeded 500 students were considered a large campus.
ThenCompetitive Edge Initiative is designed to align academic competition throughout a student’s primary and secondary education by implementing district wide academic programs and competition regulations in order to for the students to succeed and cultivate leadership skills that will make them college ready earlier on.
