TAPPS Academic State Champions 2026!!

What’s better than being State Champions? Doing it again—back to back.

Dear Pan Am Community,

We are proud to share exciting news about our students’ outstanding achievement at the 2026 Academic State Competition.

Our students earned 1st place overall, securing 1st place in Academics, 1st place in Speech, and 2nd place in Debate. This marks our second consecutive year as state champions (2025–2026)—an incredible milestone that reflects both excellence and growth. In the years prior, our students earned 2nd and 3rd-place finishes in Academics, making this continued success even more meaningful.

Throughout the competition, our students demonstrated discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Their commitment to preparation and their ability to perform under pressure set them apart. They represented Pan Am with integrity, confidence, and pride, showcasing not only their academic talent but also their character and leadership.

At Pan Am, we are proud to be forming servant leaders who are ready to compete and succeed in the world.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to:

Dr. Plascencia for his leadership,

Mrs. Plascencia, for her support in coordinating all competition documentation,

Mr. Christopher, Mr. Mebane, and Mr. Saenz for their time, expertise, and commitment in preparing our students.

Please join us in congratulating our students and staff on this remarkable achievement.

Warm regards,

Pan Am Leadership Team
