The program of academic competition for elementary, middle school and junior high officially became "A+ Academics" in 2008. A+ Academics includes 20 different events for grades 2-8. These events span the curriculum - they are designed to complement and expand upon what students learn in the classroom, both through learning specific subject knowledge, and through learning skills that are valuable in many disciplines. Approximately 3,000 Texas schools participate in A+ Academics, competing in more than 300 district meets each year.
The Academic UIL competition is coordinated and facilitated through the Alvin ISD Advanced Academics department. Please contact the Iowa Colony Junior High Advanced Academics Specialist, Brandie Greaney, with any questions. Ms. Greaney's email is bgreaney@alvinisd.net.
On the graphic below, you will find the competition subjects and corresponding grade levels for Alvin ISD junior high students to participate within. Specifics regarding Coaches, room numbers, and practice times, will be provided no later than September 6, 2024.
