Crandall High School Celebrates Academic UIL Participation & Success

Crandall High School's Academic UIL program is thriving like never before, with the 2023-2024 school year marking the largest number of students participating in the program's history.

We are proud of these results from our Crandall High School students, which show that CHS is focusing on the strengths of the individuals and the program. Mr. Juarez, the prose and poetry coach, and Ms. Bullard, the Debate and Speaking Coach, have played essential roles in helping our students achieve their goals.

This year's growing participation in Academic UIL events reflects our district's commitment to academic growth and its encouragement of students to push themselves.

Congratulations to all students and coaches on their hard work and accomplishments. Your success is a testament to Crandall High School's growing culture of excellence.
