UIL Academics

Moore Middle School swept the University Scholastic League Academic Competition last week. With more students competing than ever before from a CISD middle school, MMS teams placed top spots in nearly every single category. 

“Congratulations to our students and their sponsors for all of their hard work!” Dr. Tom Maglisceau, Superintendent, said. “These UIL academic standings are a reflection of our teachers and our students' commitment to excellence each and every school day. Because of this principle of excellence, CISD is known throughout the area and Texas for its programs.”
