During January, Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD middle school students from across the district participated in an academic UIL competition. This competition, designed to complement the curriculum that is learned in the classroom, challenges students to expand their subject knowledge and learn valuable skills. 

Due to a bad weather day, the district celebration was canceled and moved to individual campus recognitions. We want to congratulate all of these CFBISD scholars for a job well done.

Congratulations to the following students on their achievements:
