Ennis Christmas Invitational

UIL Academic Meet-December 12, 2026

September 1, 2026.

Dear UIL Academic Coordinators:

Ennis High School is excited about hosting our annual Christmas INVITATIONAL UIL ACADEMIC MEET on Saturday, December 12, 2026. Due to the growth in size of this tournament, we will be offering only UIL ACADEMIC events this year.

There will be only one division of academic competition, and entries will be limited due to the expected size; therefore, entries will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. When the maximum number of entries for a limited contest is reached, that contest is filled. You can make substitutions on the day of the tournament.

The meet will follow UIL rules and offer all academic events with the exception of the hands-on computer science. Medals will be awarded to the top six winners in each event. The top scorer in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics will be recognized. Sweepstakes awards will be presented to the two top schools. Individual awards and team awards will be announced throughout the day after the official results have been verified and recorded for each contest. Test papers and other contest materials may be taken with you when you leave.

Schools MUST provide graders for any event that a student is entered into. Please indicate on the entry form the names of the persons who will be grading/judging. A grading/judging fee of $100 will be assessed for all missing graders and judges.

Refreshments for sponsors, graders, and judges will be provided in our generous hospitality room. A snack bar/concessions stand will be available to students throughout the tournament. If there are any questions, email or call us at 469-360-6098. We are looking forward to having you on our campus. We anticipate a great day of competition!

Christmas sweaters and attire are encouraged for everyone!

Merry Christmas,

Eric Adams.
