Feb. 28, 2024–287 students across CSISD’s 10 elementary schools participated in the 2024 UIL A+ District Meet on Jan. 19 at Grace Bible Church.
Students participated in events at their respective schools to qualify for the competition. Three school champions per event from each school advanced to the district meet.
Community members, CSISD retirees, current administrators and specialists served as judges for the competition and graded student compositions and tests.
