I'm a graduate of UHS and overall I do have fond memories of the school. Of course there were things that could be better or things that needed to be worked on but I feel that is to be said for all schools. There were a select few teachers that you could tell that they cared for their students and it's those teachers that have left such an impact on me. They are the reason that I will look back to the school and see it as a great time in my life. Little bits of bumps and bruises but still a great time.

Ulysses was a good high school. The teachers are pretty involved. There are many choices for things to do at the school, from sports to clubs. The least appealing is the admins are very athletic driven. If you are not an athlete you are second best.

We might not have doors for all of our classrooms and our roof might leak every once and a while, but its still a good school. All of the teachers I have had have only wanted to see me grow and encourage me to become better. I have enjoyed my time there, however I am ready to start the next chapter.
