Temple has been named one of six Texas Thespians Outstanding Troupes for 2019-2020. The announcement was made November 7. The group will have a special video featured during an all-convention event November 21-23 in Grapevine. Temple will also be presented with an Outstanding Troupe Banner at the awards ceremony and will pose for a photo with the banner.
Other troupes winning the award include James E. Taylor High School (Katy), Denison High School, Grand Prairie Fine Arts Academy, Texas High School (Texarkana) and John and Randolph Foster High School (Richmond, Lamar Consolidated ISD). Last year 283 high school troupes participated in the annual convention with over 8200 people in attendance.
