Dear UIL Academics Coordinators and Coaches:

The Medina Valley High School UIL Academics program cordially invites you to participate in our Set-A UIL Tournament on January 8, 2022. This event will feature all of the high school UIL events including speech and debate, and hands-on Computer Science.

There will be food and fun a plenty. Students will have access to a concession stand while coaches and bus drivers will have a hospitality room. The concession stand will have a pizza meal deal for lunch so coaches don’t have to worry too much about having to go get food. 

We ask that all entries be submitted through Tabroom by December 17th to allow us to plan over the holidays. No new schools will be added after that date. We will however allow adds, drops, and revisions without a fee through January 3rd as I know things change over the break. If there is an issue, please feel free to email me. We look forward to seeing y’all there! Have a great year. If you have any questions, please email me at david.perritano@mvisd.org.

Sincerely,

David Perritano

UIL Academics Coordinator
