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.

Thee best part of Union high School I think is the sports and the dances also the assembly.The classes are good too you learn different things and the items they teach you can use in the real world today.

I am a senior at Union High School and I had an amazing high school experience. I had many teachers that wanted to see me succeed and helped me with my class work.
