I am very glad that I had been accepted to this high school. I have built lasting relationships with academic leaders and peers throughout my high school years that I will never forget. The staff and students are like a family and I am so grateful to be apart of the UACHS family.

University Academy has helped me grow as an individual . We have a anti phone program called yondr where our cellular devices are not accessible all day , which helps us learn and promotes us to socialize more with eachother . i feel like University Academy has stepped up to the plate and offered a good foundation for the rest of my life
