Union High School definitely fits the small town it is located in. There is a family in the school, a community anyone could rely on. The only negative experience I had with UHS was the gossip. In such a small town, nothing stayed secret, and many rumors were spread.

The teachers are great but the administration office people are very disrespectful and the communication between them and their parents is unbelievable and waited 3 months to tell me my kid hasn't signed in on a virtual school during the pandemic and then take me to court like it's my fault when I have to work I didn't get to sit at home during the pandemic

The staff at Union are all supportive. Regardless if you are an athlete or are studious all of the faculty want to help you and see you succeed.
