Based on my experience as a board member over several years, I have come to know University High School and have learned that it really cares about its students, holds them accountable to high standards of performance and behavior and understands that they genuinely need to be taken seriously. Superb teachers, small class size, teacher mentors for students, robust and successful athletic programs, distinctively effective college counseling and placement efforts and January Term all contribute to a school that delivers an educational experience that is unique. Add this to an environment of strong esprit de corps and high spirits and you have a very special place. I believe that every day University High School is living its mission to "expand the hearts and minds of students and to nurture excellence through academic, creative and physical achievement.”
