I love North Union High School because it is a small enough school so I know everyone in the high school. We have great teachers where we can have normal conversations with them and not just talk about school subjects all the time.

I had a very good math teacher this year. She came back from retirement because we didn't have anyone else. She has been the only good math teacher we have had.

North Union High School is a very happy and fun place. Yes it's school, but the teachers always make learning fun. North Union is a very small school district which makes it easy to get to know everyone at school. Everyone is friendly and always willing to help. There are also many different classes offered where you can meet people with similar interests.
