PSIA Competition: 16 Students Place, 5 Qualify for State

After practicing their writing, listening, speaking, spelling, drawing, memorizing, and calculating skills, thirty-five St. Andrew’s Lower and Middle School students faced off with their peers from area schools at the Private School Interscholastic Association (PSIA) District academic competition on March 4. Our hard-working students prepared for the event with their St. Andrew’s faculty advisors in their spare time over many weeks. St. Andrew’s faculty and parent volunteers helped our students have a successful performance this year! 
Sixteen students placed among 11 categories, with five students— Claudia Ellington ‘22, James Graham ‘26, Olivia Korman ‘26, Ainsley Owen ‘25, and Avery Wayne ‘22 — qualifying for the PSIA State competition on April 29 at Texas Christian University.

Congrats to our students! Go Cru!
