Last Wednesday evening, a ceremony was held in the KIVA to celebrate our UA YLC (Young Leader's Conference) team. This fabulous group of 29 girls brought home the Silver Cup (that's First Place!) from The Great Debate Competition in Austin this summer. This annual competition is held every summer as part of The National Hispanic Institute. Ursuline has participated in the competition for 5 years and this was our very first 1st Place win!!! We are so proud of our participants - all from our current Sophomore class - but we are equally proud of our older students who served as the YLC coaches. They were the key to the success!
This team is moderated by Mrs. Escamilla who is quick to point out all of the community support that the team receives both from within UA and beyond our campus. We are so grateful to have so many invested in the success of our students!
