“Since the start of the school year, Katy ISD students have worked hard to practice high-level academics challenges in preparation for these state meets,” said Dr. Joan Otten, Director of Katy ISD Gifted & Talented/Advanced Academics Department.  “As part of the competition, students also prepare and deliver a memorized speech, give an impromptu presentation, participate in a sit-down interview and write a 50-minute paper,” added Otten.
