Extraordinary Efforts at PSIA Contest

Many Extraordinary Education  students competed in the Private Schools Interscholastic Assocation District 12AA Contest on Saturday, April 2nd, 2016. The team chose to compete in the AA tournament which is for larger schools, so the competition was very tough and placing is more difficult. Our students did quite well though and earned many awards. A number of students also qualified for the State PSIA Contest to be held at TCU in Fort Worth on April 30th. Special thanks to our PSIA Campus coordinator, Kuovonne Vorderbruggen. It is a huge task to coordinate this event, and she did a fantastic job!

Be sure to congratulate these students when you see them!
