UIL One-Act Play
Each year the WHS Drama Department is highly competitive in the UIL One Act Play Contest. The program has made 4 State appearances, with now three productions placing in the top 3 at the UIL State One-Act Play Contest.
Waxahachie High School was 2nd Runner Up in the 2018 State UIL OAP competition with "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime."
Community Support
The WHS Drama Department has incredible community support through our Shinning Star Patrons. Shinning Stars help to support education enrichment, production costs, and scholarships for our students.
Waxahachie High School students give back as they donated $1000.00 to the Autism Treatment Center in Dallas from donations collected at the community performance of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime". Students are seen here delivering the check on their way to the Regional UIL OAP competition in Prosper.
