Clarendon High School students were very successful at state UIL academic meet this spring.

The Number Sense team of Hyungmo Jung, Jordan Luna, Nathan Dziedzic, and Jerami Johnson placed 3rd at the UIL State Academic Meet in Austin. Jung was 8th place overall and Luna 9th.

This completes a historic year for the team as they qualified for their first trip to Austin after winning district and regional competitions. Jung also finished a stellar year in Mathematics competition by winning the bronze medal in that event. His score would have made him a state champion in 2A classification, and the contest director said he’d never seen scores this high in 1A state math competition before.

Lydia Howard competed in two events, and brought home the state gold medal in Headline Writing. Howard had a superb year in the event, winning district and placing 3rd in regional competition to go along with her 1st place state finish. She also competed in the Science contest.

These students represented Clarendon High School very well, and sponsors are proud of their accomplishments.
