My experience at my school as a senior in my school is overall great. I haven't had a bad experience with any teacher or staff. My teachers have always helped me with any challenge I faced. Only problems i have faced in the past was when COVID was rampant and it affected the way we learned all throughout freshman year therefore affecting my GPA. There isn't anything I would change about the school. My dream as I progressed high school was if the school gained more funding and provide a more variety of classes for future trade school students.

Administration and Guidance Department absolutely play favorites, but for the most part the teachers are pretty nice.

I transferred to Union High School my sophomore year and the school as a whole was very welcoming. From the administration to the teachers they made my transition very smooth. Now that this is my senior year Union has changed drastically. Some of the best teachers have left due to not being paid enough and a variety of the school's programs have been canceled due to the school not having the amount of funding that it desired. I witnessed so many students leave and I honestly didn't blame them because if I could go to another school I would have. It's like no one really cares about the school anymore. Although Union does not have money I tell them that there's plenty of ways to get stuff for our students but no one listens to me. I stress to them that there are grants and scholarships out there for schools to participate in. The food is horrible!! The bathrooms are only clean once a week. Being a part of the Union family has made me realize that Union as a whole has too much ego.

I graduated from Union High School in 2013. Currently a Biology major at UNCW. If I could go back in time I would have chosen to graduate from virtually any other High School. I honestly do not want my name affiliated with this place! I have friends and family still in this school and it has only go...

It's an amazing school! Sadly it gets look down on simply because we aren't a city school but it's truely a great school. Every teacher there cares so much about their students and they show it. The students there are great. They are outgoing and so humble. I would recommend it to anyone !!!
