Argyle ISD has a long-standing, rich tradition of excellence in the UIL academic competitions. That tradition continued last week at the elementary level as all four Argyle ISD schools gathered together to compete!

The competition was held at Fellowship of the Parks in Northlake. This year, 443 students participated and had a blast!! What an incredible experience for these young Eagles and special thanks to our UIL coordinators, teachers and bus drivers who helped make this happen! Special thanks to Board Trustees Dr. Leona McDade and Leigh Ann Artho who helped as judges!

Argyle High School senior Brayden Markham has been recognized for his outstanding photographic work, which was selected for exhibition in the Drexel University High School Photography Contest.
