UIL State Champs x 6

For many students, the month of May can’t come to an end fast enough. But for some, the apex of competition is still to come thanks to UIL state competitions being scheduled at the end of the school year. Regardless of timing, six Wylie High students brough 5A state champion titles home just days before summer break, and for several, graduation. A BIG congrats to our STATE CHAMPS and their coaches!
