March 6, 2020 - High school students in Shelbyville ISD will compete for top honors during the 2020 District 22AA UIL Academic Spring Meet to be held on March 25th at SFASU. The UIL Academic District Meets bring students together to compete in over 23 college level academic contests that cover every aspect of classroom curriculum.
These students meet rigorous scholastic requirements in order to voluntarily compete in UIL academics. Contestants compete for individual honors while schools compete for the district championship.
