JJHS Academic UIL
Jourdanton Junior High School students have an opportunity to compete against other school districts in our Academic UIL District. Our Academic District this year includes: Poteet (Host School for Jr. High Academic UIL), Chrystal City, Hondo, Dilley, Lytle, Cotula, Natalia and Jourdanton. The events have been divided into two categories, In House Events and Host Events. For In House Events, tests are completed at the students home campus, during school hours, as scheduled by their school between December 2nd - 19th 2024. In House Events include: Chess Puzzles, Dictionary Skills, Maps, Graphs, and Charts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Spelling, as well as the writing contests of Editorial Writing and Ready Writing. The Host School Events will be held in Poteet on January 24th in the afternoon. Host School Events include: Impromptu Speaking, Modern Oratory, Oral Reading, Art Smart, Calculator, Listening Skills, Music Memory, and Number Sense.
Students must attend at least 10 practices to be eligible for a team. Each team consists of 4 participants per grade level. Coaches will notify students during meeting times how the team will be selected and based on which criteria.
