Cy Creek High School has been named regional finalists in the 2015 Texas School Public Relations (TSPRA) Celebrate Texas Public Schools (CTPS) Video Contest, “It Matters.”

They are the Houston/Beaumont region representative in the Spanish division.

The Celebrate Texas Public Schools Video Contest, sponsored by Randolph Brooks Federal Credit Union, offers students the chance to win $1,000 for their campus if their video makes the most effective statement about the positive differences being made in Texas public schools.

State winners will be announced at the 2015 TSPRA Annual Conference, to be held Feb. 23-26 in San Antonio.

UCTV was recognized for its foreign language video that sent the message that Texas public schools matter for everyone, regardless of origin or services needed.

“UCTV has continued to grow and impress over the past four years, with more accolades every year. The passion, creativity, and dedication of our students makes this possible, and that the state of Texas recognizes their excellence is cause for pride, indeed,” said Jana Bulloch, UCTV director. “We chose to enter the foreign language category in order to highlight the incredible cultural and linguistic diversity of Cypress Creek High School. One can’t celebrate Texas public schools without celebrating that.”
