St. Anne Catholic School competes each spring in the Private Schools Interscholastic Association's (PSIA) academic contests in math, science, language arts, speech, social studies, and fine arts. With 19 contest categories covering a wide range of disciplines, PSIA provides an exciting opportunity for private school students in grades 1 through 8 to engage in academic competition with their peers throughout the state of Texas.
According to their website, PSIA remains the most comprehensive academic extracurricular program in the nation for students in grades 1-8. Statistical research has shown that students who participate in these types of activities score higher on achievement and assessment tests. St. Anne students are chosen either by teacher recommendation or by volunteering. Once a student is placed on a team, he agrees to attend practice sessions at school or at home with a parent coach. Practice sessions are facilitated by volunteer coaches who are either teachers, parents, or other knowledgeable, competent persons. St. Anne Catholic School is a member of District 10 AA, and every year many students participate in this exciting opportunity where they challenge their skills and experience recognition for their academic excellence.
