Visit University High School
Spending time at University High School is the best way to see all the school has to offer. We have several opportunities each year for prospective parents and students to visit our campus, see our teachers in action, experience our welcoming community, and get their questions answered.
Open Houses provide a great introduction to University High School and are an ideal first step of the high school search. Prospective Family Dinners offer a more in-depth look at University for middle school and transfer families. And the shadow day is the ultimate visit experience for students. We encourage prospective families to take advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible.
Shadow Visit for Students
One important part of the admission process at University High School is the shadow visit. Students in grades 7-12 spend a day at University attending classes, community meeting, and lunch with a welcoming host student.
While we are happy to welcome shadow guests on any school day that works for them, the following dates are ideal for a visit to University High School:
- February 10, 21, 24, 28
- March 2, 6, 9, 13, 16, 20, 23, 30
- April 13, 17, 20, 24, 27
- May 4, 8, 11,15, 18, 19, 20
For shadow visits on Mondays, students should arrive at 9:00 a.m., and the visit ends at 3:15 p.m. For shadow visits on Tuesdays through Fridays, student should arrive at 8:15 a.m., and the visit ends at 3:15 p.m.
