    Nineteen students from Shiner Catholic School are headed to TCU in Fort Worth on May 6 to compete in the 2023 PSIA State Academic Meet. PSIA (Private Schools Interscholastic Association) provides the most comprehensive academic program in the nation for privately-schooled students across Texas in grades 1-8 by challenging them in various contests.
    The following students placed first or second individually in one or more contests at the District meet that was held in February, which then advanced them to the State competition. We are so proud of these students and wish them the best of luck at STATE!
