Honors Celebration - DATE CHANGE!

The Honors Celebration DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2010, due to a conflict with the UHS Senior Awards Night, for all students who have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.60-4.30. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we feel that this change is in the best interest for all parents who are honoring middle school students as well as UHS seniors. Please be assured that this conflict will not happen in the future.
