University High School is one to remember. Being a performing arts magnet school, it offers many programs for different performing arts such as theatre, dance, technical programs, etc. There are so many clubs and activities in the school as well. In regards to the education and staff, it is your average expectations for a High School. Not bad but not lacking anything, just average.

University High School is a very race and culturally diverse school. With teachers who want us to succeed and faculty who are there to help no matter what. University focuses on both student success and student health. I would recommend this school to anyone who asks.
