We have a really good school. I would like to see more clubs and activities. While our school focuses a lot on sports, our teachers really focus on our grades.

I love Union Local High School because of how involved and compassionate the staff is. They truly care for every student there well beings and their futures. Through these tough times of COVID-19 the communication that the Superintendent and Principle have been able to give has been astronomical. One thing that I would like to see change is student involvement. I think students at Union Local High School would exceed more if they were able to catch a glimpse at what their career paths would look like.

Union Local has an amazing atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and no one is left out. Even though the atmosphere is great the teaching is just average or below. Some teachers are very good and the test scores show it but others just are there to get paid. The sports are very involved with the community and are very proud of the players. The administration is very involved with the students but not always do what is best. The school is a very safe place to be physically and emotionally. Everyone must go through a metal detector to enter the school and everyone is very friendly after you enter.
