More than half a million motivated students are challenged in the University Interscholastic League or UIL. Mr. Dean, a US history teacher, is the head of UIL Social Studies.

AP students last year answered 40 questions with only 30 seconds per question. By March 25th Mr. Dean needs 5 people to join this year’s team.

“Just talk to the teacher, research pros and cons, and have a specialty for this year, the Constitution,” said Mr. Dean.

Joining UIL stretches your creativity, thinking skills, and other comprehensions.

“It is a very prestigious honor to make it to State in a UIL academic subject,” said

Mr. Dean.

Ms. Gonzalez is the UIL Academic Coordinator. If you’re interested in Social Studies see Mr. Dean, if not there are the teachers in other departments for UIL.
