Union High School

No School works harder for their students! Check our PSSA scores and how much they've improved over the past 5 years. Student's are our 1st priority.

The principal does not discipline, but leaves job to teachers. The school is only interested in sports and not academics. The students with the right name get to do most of the things at this school.

Terrible. The thought of even stepping into that school is nauseating, and any student who goes that who isn't one of the teachers favorites will agree.

Union high school is too worried about dress codes and sports. they say some clothes can create a distraction but pulling them out of class all day is the only distraction it causes.

I am a former student of Union and I had a GREAT education. My first college classes were a breeze, because it consisted of things I have already learned at Union. It's a small school, but very safe. A lot of students with lack of effort is a problem at Union, but I suppose you have that everywhere.

Sadly i am a student and the people that say its all about names are right. But dont blame the teachers. Dont blame the supportive staff. Blame the people that push the sports. Blame the administration for letting this happen. Blame the community for not making a change.

I have to agree union is still all about names it's who you are not what you can do or how smart a student is. I think the teachers should more effort into teaching rather than worry about the clothing the kids wear. Some need to look in the mirror at their own dress style. Also, some of the new teachers have already learned how to discourage the kids from learning by calling them stupid and questioning their future ambitions and then laughing at them or telling them that they will never succeed. Our kids need built up not tore down. Also, your 'names' have bullied the special class students and get away with it. Why?

I believe Union High School is a great school to send your children to. The teachers are great and are willing to help everybody. You just need to take the initiative to get help in the areas where it is needed. Although UHS can be strict with their numerous dress codes, hall rules, and attendance regarding extra-curricular activities, it is necessary to have these rules for everyone's safety.

my husband graduated from union and now my two children go there and nothing has changed in 20years. all they care about is sports. and it doesnt matter how good you are. it all goes by your name and who your parents are. my son played sports but was always benched because of who we were/ but other kids that were not as good as him played and most of the time we lost. they only treat kids good that have a certain last name or money. these kids will never learn anything at union the way they run the program its all about sports. if your not on a team you may as well not show up for school because you will only be ignored. treated bad or you get so upset you just wanna quit. i dont know why the goverment doesnt get involved and change this.
