UIL Awards

Trenton High School Celebrates a Decade of Academic Excellence.

Trenton High School hosted the 2023 UIL District 14-2A Academic Meet on Saturday March 25, 2023.  The UIL District 14-2A Academic District includes Bland, Celeste, Honey Grove, Sam Rayburn, Tom Bean, Trenton, Whitewright and Wolfe City.  

This year Trenton High School won our ninth straight District 14-2A Academic District Championship over the past ten years. Academic events were not held during 2020 due to Covid. 

Please join us in congratulating our students and staff on achieving this milestone.  The District Meet results are listed below.  The UIL Conference 2A Region II Academic Meet will be hosted by Grayson College in Denison, Texas.  The dates of the Region Meet are April 19-22, 2023.  Photos of the awards earned this year and the banners that celebrate the academic success of our students over the past decade are attached.  If your name is on these district championship banners, we celebrate your contribution to the legacy of Trenton UIL Academics. #TigersTogether
