Congratulations to Abby Neff for being selected as an Outstanding Performer by the University Interscholastic League (UIL) at State Solo and Ensemble '25. Of the approximately 100,000 students participating across the state only 2% of solo performances earn this distinguished honor. This is truly a mark of musical excellence. The medallion received is awarded to state champions in all UIL events. Abby is a recent PTHS graduate and will attend Stephen F. Austin State University in the fall.
