IWA Competes in PSIA Meet

A total of 12 students from Incarnate Word Academy’s Elementary and Middle Level competed at this year's Private Schools Interscholastic Association (PSIA) State Meet on Saturday, April 28 at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.

Angels who attended the academic State meet qualified during a district competition on February 28 in Victoria.

According to a PSIA press release, over 2,600 students from grades 1-8 across Texas attended this year's annual competition. Six Elementary and six Middle-Level students participated in events such as mathematics, science, dictionary skills, impromptu speaking, vocabulary, on-site drawing, number sense, art memory, storytelling, listening skills, and dictionary skills.
