UC has been a wonderful experience for me, freshman year I always felt welcome, there was of course the initial nervousness but all of it went away pretty quickly. Sophomore, Junior, and my Senior year were also pretty great! There’s always something new and fun to do, as far as PAC, and a wide variety of clubs, as well as sports. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, especially our principle Sister Percylee.
What I like about Union Catholic is, is that they give opportunities whether you play sports or are an average student. For example I was invited to a HBCU college fair where I was fortunately accepted into four colleges on the spot! Students who play sports such as track and field, are given numerous opportunities. The training and dedication put into that sport is immaculate. Students have either been in or asked to run at the Olympics. This high school has a lot of work to do regarding better academics and pricing (tuition and food) but overall they are helpful when it comes to applying for colleges and getting better at sports and activities you love. (especially community service)
My high school experience at Union Catholic was good in my opinion. I made many bonds and was quick to jump in sports and other activities. What made my Union Catholic High School experience memorable was the people and staff that I had met and encountered during my four years there. The kindness and many fun memories I created there will stay with my forever. Things I would like to see change is possibly the way the admission office ran things. Often, I was cut short of my education for insufficient funds even when the bill can be quite small. Of course it is something out of my control and they do it for there very own reason, but it is not if my parents were going to "steal." Other than that, it was good...
