Scholars and Musicians Score at State

The STE academic team finished second at the 2011 TAPPS 3A state tournament. St. Thomas' students captured first place in the current events, science (taking three of the top four spots), and yearbook categories. In other TAPPS state competitions the orchestra placed fourth in instrumental music and the choir placed fifth in vocal music. In the large ensemble contest the STE orchestra earned the "sweepstakes" rating by receiving "Superior - Division I" marks from all the judges.
