University High School

We will keep working throughout the school closure to ensure that our students have opportunities to continue and enrich their learning. Our students are dedicated to their schooling and we know how important maintaining continuous contact and learning opportunities are during this national crisis.

Educating Our Students
 

• Our teachers are providing online enrichment opportunities
  • Using Google Classrooms
  • Our teachers are creating and distributing additional content for our students (both print and online)

Supporting Students & Families
 

• Our C2 Pipeline offers daily online activities from 2PM-5PM​​​​​​​
   
• Mrs. Mracna and Mr. Gardner are holding daily online live chat sessions (by grade) to answer questions and concerns from students. Session starts at 1 PM.
  • Seniors-Mondays
  • Juniors-Tuesdays
  • Sophomores-Wednesday
  • Freshmen-Thursdays
• Last week we had a tremendous response and were so happy to see so many of our students’ faces and hear their experiences.  It was not only a great time to relay information and answer questions, but we also laughed and shared jokes to make our day a little brighter. We look forward to the same this week!

Preparing Our Spaces
 

• Our custodial staff is deep cleaning the building and wiping every surface with disinfectant.

Several very active school clubs and athletics opportunities give students experiences beyond the classroom where they excel, as well. Students are involved in DECA, Michigan’s largest organization for students preparing to become leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. Several UHS students compete at the national DECA championships each year. Learn about all of our Clubs & Activities.
