NEISD students win multiple UIL Academic State Championships

Multiple North East ISD students claimed top spots at the 2024 UIL Academic State Tournament. 

Top students from around the state faced off in their perspective events. Students initially compete in their district contest, advance to the region contest, and the best competitors make it to the state contest.   

The top six competitors are recognized at the end of the contest with one individual or team crowned as State Champion. NEISD’s showing for this year was impressive!
