Welcome to Union High School (9-12)
Greetings from Union High School! My name is Aaron Roussey and I have the absolute pleasure of being the Principal at Union High School. Our vision is to develop confident, accountable, and responsible lifelong learners who are college and career ready.
Our staff are committed to scholars success, regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. Our goal is to ensure that all scholars feel included, valued, supported and safe. Our diverse scholar population is rich with bilingual and English learners who are supported through our Newcomers program, cultural center services, and bilingual staff.
We understand that equitable education and compassion are the cornerstone to any successful institution, and we are committed to bringing that to our scholars and community every day.
