From building stronger communication skills to discovering lifelong passions, UIL exposes students to a wide range of academic events that challenge and inspire. Everyone walks away with something different whether it's new friendships, better grades, or a clearer vision for the future. "I've become more confident in myself... It helps with my grades." "UIL helps students grow into better leaders." "We’re building a team — and a future."

It’s been an exciting time for our Pine Tree e-Sports team! This past Sunday, our Pine Tree Port Valorant Team competed on the main stage at a state level tournament in Arlington.

Team members included: Leyton Nguyen, Alisha Prasad, Adan Yoeung, Kai Nguyen, and Cason Stafford. Our Pine Tree Starboard Valorant Team team traveled to Baylor University to compete in the Texas Scholastic Esports Federation (TSEF) State Championship. Our Pine Tree Starboard Valorant Team made it all the way to the semifinals before being eliminated.
