If I were to choose any other high school in the world. I would chose the Union High School any day of the week. It may not be perfect but it is my high school and we are like family at Union. I love the relationships I have built with the other students and I like what the school has gave me. If I could change anything I would take away the security measures such as the X-Rays for the back packs. Personally, I don't believe in x-rays daily since I believe it will probably emit radiation to us students because we use it everyday. But other than that the school is really good and I believe there is no where else like Union.

Union High School is a great environment. Children from all different ethnicities come together to create a beautiful learning atmosphere. We as a whole support this community and radiate nothing more than peace and kindness. The bullying rate in this high school has gotten so low we are all so lovi...
