Alice High School Symphonic Band – UIL Sweepstakes Achievement

The Alice High School Symphonic Band proudly earned a UIL Sweepstakes Award in April 2024. A UIL Sweepstakes is the highest honor a band can receive at the University Interscholastic League Concert & Sight-Reading Contest. To achieve this distinction, a band must earn a majority of first division (superior) ratings from judges in both its concert performance and sight-reading evaluation.

This award continues Alice High School’s rich tradition of musical excellence. Under the leadership of legendary director Bryce Taylor, who served as band director for 50 years, the Alice band program achieved 29 consecutive UIL Sweepstakes Awards and placed among the top five schools in Class 5A twelve times at the TMEA Honor Band Auditions.

Alice High School was also one of the first five schools in the nation to receive the prestigious Sudler Flag of Honor, recognizing sustained excellence in concert performance.

The 2024 Sweepstakes Award reflects both the legacy of success and the continued dedication of Alice High School’s students, directors, and community to musical achievement.

    AHS Homecoming Week

    Homecoming Week Reminder!

    As we gear up for Homecoming Week, we want to remind everyone about the dress code for in-school spirit theme days:

    All outfits must follow the regular school dress code. The ONLY exceptions are: • Leggings with a long shirt • Long shorts that go past fingertip length

    No skirts or dresses are allowed for in-school theme days.

    This reminder was first posted on social media on September 9, so everyone had plenty of notice about these guidelines.

    Please note: These rules apply only to in-school spirit days. The Homecoming Dance will follow the usual formal attire dress code as always.

    Let’s keep it fun and dress-code friendly as we show our school spirit!

    Smart Minds Healthy Meals

    Healthy minds need healthy fuel! At Alice ISD, we believe that eating nutritious meals is just as important as learning in the classroom. When students choose healthy foods, they boost their energy, focus, and overall well-being — setting the stage for success in school and beyond. Don't forget to take your food tray during your lunch period. Let’s encourage our students to make smart choices at the table and in their studies, because strong bodies and sharp minds go hand in hand.
