STATE ACADEMIC CHAMPIONS

  • Since 2008, Cypress Woods has advanced at least 1 individual to the state UIL Academic meet every single year.  

    For instance, the Computer Science team has won 3 individual UIL State Championships in 2010, 2011, and 2012, 1 team State Championship in 2013, and finished as the2nd place team in 2010. 

    In 2013, we had 7 individuals and 1 team advance to the UIL State Meet in Accounting, Computer Applications, Computer Science, Spelling, and Ready Writing.  At the state meet, all 7 students and the team placed, including the 5A Accounting State Champion and 5A Computer Science State Champion Team.  For 2014, three individuals advanced to the state meet in Accounting, Computer Science, and Computer Applications; all earned medals at the state meet. 

    Every student that makes it to the state meet at least once qualifies for UIL TILF Scholarships.  Attending the state meet once is required to apply for the TILF Scholarships.
