TWCA Places 6th at TAPPS Academic, Fine Arts, and Speech Meet
The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) hosts an Academic, Fine Arts, and Speech Meet every year in Waco, TX. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the meet was held virtually this year. While the competition experience was different, it afforded students the opportunity to compete academically.
