Union High School overall is a great school. The staff is absolutely amazing, almost all teachers always willing to offer extra help, involved in some type of student activity. In this school you have so many different classes, clubs, and athletics to choose from that fit everyone's interest. This is an award winning school, the football team won states in the fall of 2019, the JROTC program has been won the best program in New Jersey! The only thing I would advise is to stay away from the bad crowds that you'll find in every public highschool, just find where you fit in!
The atmosphere is GREAT! The diversity is unmatched. It's wonderful to be surrounded with intelligent people like myself, both peers and teachers. The only down fall is the food and some non teaching teachers. Then there are times it seems like they do not care or know what they are doing, which can hinder a student's experience at Union High School. (academically especially). But overall I am proud to be apart of this school and can’t wait to graduate. Class of 2021
Union Senior High School is a great place to learn. I am an alumnus and graduated in the year of 2016. As a student, I thrived in the environment of support and leadership and this is what the school provided me. All my teachers were incredible and made sure that each student understood the topic. Aside from classes, there were a variety of electives that were given and could choose. There were also certain things we were granted as students such as Spirit Week, Senior Prank, and etc. Overall, a great place to learn and spend 4 years at!
