Frisco ISD middle schoolers had the chance to participate in the recent International Thespian Society Junior Thespian Conference, with 44 earning Superior ratings and being named national qualifiers.
The International Thespian Society recognizes, rewards and encourages achievement by middle and high school students and celebrates their work in all aspects of theater. The group hosts Junior Thespian Conferences across the state to provide workshops, competition opportunities and more.
“Events like these provide such wonderful opportunities for our students to grow as performers, challenge themselves and celebrate their love of theater,” said Michael Hollomon, fine arts coordinator. “We are incredibly proud of all the students who represented their schools and showcased their talents.”
Congratulations to the following students and the directors whose hard work prepared their students for success.
