 UIL Academics Instruction in KISD

The University Interscholastic League offers a wide variety of academic contests for high school students, encompassing many elements of required high school coursework. These contests build upon the academic skills developed in the classroom and offer students an opportunity to stretch their talents above and beyond those requirements. It offers more than any other UIL division in terms of activities, with 22 high school and 18 elementary, intermediate, and middle school contests. More than a half million students participate in UIL academic contests.
