My experience at Union High School was altered due to COVID-19. However, this school provides a comfortable environment and excellent resources if you struggle to understand a topic. the cleanliness is top-notch, for a small school we have many students, and younger students overtake. the janitors are always on top of keeping the school clean and making sure the school isn't a gross place to be. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to move somewhere small.

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.
8/7/2018
There is nothing major that I would like to see change other than the fact that they pay more attention to sports than intellectual clubs.
