The Clifton Speech, Acting and UIL Academic Team did a good job the weekend of December 1, 2012,  representing Clifton at the HISD 2nd UIL Competition and  took the most speech medals. Clifton came in  2nd overall to Pin Oak’s academic team.  The competition, held at Pin Oak, was enjoyed by all. Top highlights were:
-Brother and sister Samir Saeed and Hania Saeed both ruled Spelling, Samir being the 6th grade HISD champion and now Hania is the 7th grade champion.  Remember Samir’s perfect spelling score last time?  A UIL record-breaker.  Hania is going for it now!

Elizabeth S. was chosen to represent Clifton at the preliminary Engineering Excellence (E2) Competition. E2 inspires excellence, confidence and curiosity in students and encourages them to create and explore a vision of future technology by combining their imaginations with the tools of science. The E2 Competition provides students with the foundation for success in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. The competition requires students to use research, presentation and computer skills, practical math and science applications and problem solving skills. Participants are assigned topics and judged on the merit of their E2 submissions, which include a brief essay, display board and 3-D model of their project.
