The University Interscholastic League offers the most comprehensive program of academic competition in the nation. UIL academic contests encompass many elements of required high school coursework, building on the academic skills developed in the classroom.
Thousands of Frisco ISD students participated in academic contests in the 2024-25 school year, including the UIL state championships last month at the University of Texas at Austin.
