About the Department and/or College

Texas Tech University is proud to serve more than 10,000 students, families, educators and community partners annually through University Interscholastic League (UIL). Established at Texas Tech in the 1930s, UIL offers fall, spring and summer UIL regional and open competitions, workshops and summer camps for public high school students.

UIL was established to create educational extracurricular academic and athletic contests for the Texas high school community. The earliest documentation identifying Texas Technological College as a host of a UIL event was in March 1938 in the "Texas Tech Magazine: Engineering Edition." Texas Tech has since expanded its support of Texas public high school education by creating a specialized unit. Texas Tech UIL provides high school students with unbiased competitions, quality venues, and promoting partnerships and collaborations with local and regional educators and business establishments.

The University Interscholastic League was created by The University of Texas at Austin to provide leadership and guidance to public school debate and athletic teachers. Since 1910 the UIL has grown into the largest inter-school organization of its kind in the world. The UIL continues to operate as part of the University of Texas, under the auspices of the Deputy to the President for Governmental Affairs and Initiatives.

The UIL exists to provide educational extracurricular academic, athletic, and music contests. The initials UIL have come to represent quality educational competition administered by school people on an equitable basis.
