Way to go Midland ISD UIL Academic Teams!
Our College Succes Advisor, Mrs. Moore, attended the UT Permian Basin "State of the University" this morning. She made great connections as she preps our first graduating class next year. UTPB is a GREAT option for our Game Changers. Look at the STEM careers in the Permian tied to UTPB!
