Weekly News and Notes

Some updates from UHS this week.

Grade 7 Orientation on Monday

We look forward to meeting with our seventh grade parents on Monday, March 2, from 6:30-8:45 or so. It will be an opportunity for our families to hear from department leaders, students, administration, and activities. We hope that many of our grade 7 parents will be able to join us!

UHS Recognitions

This week, UHS earned acceptance into the CAPS network, a national network of programs focused on career preparation, while announcing a $200,000 grant from the Commonwealth to invest in infrastructure and equipment. Later this month, Principal Michael Rubin will be a featured panelist at a national education conference in Austin, Texas, speaking alongside Elliot Washor, Tom Vander Ark, and David Misahiro, all of whom are prominent educators with national followings. Our Music Director, Kathleen Penza, earned the state "Heart of the Arts" award and is a candidate for national recognition.

In all, there have been some great headlines coming from UHS this week, and we are so proud to share our successes. We hope that you are able to follow some of what has been going on, as we continue to find ways to reimagine education and inspire our students!
