This site is dedicated to the Annual French Symposium for high school students in the state of Texas. Students register to compete against other peers in academic and non-academic events. The symposium's purpose is to promote the French language and encourage the students' interest in the French culture.

Begun in 1964, at Mac Arthur High School in San Antonio, Texas, the Texas French Symposium continues to inspire students to further their knowledge of the French language and culture.
