Fundraising

Fundraising is a key part of what the U-High Boosters do—check out current opportunities and how to get your ideas approved.

Hospitality and Chaperones

The Hospitality Committee plays a vital role in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere at key school events. This includes providing support during events such as the General Open House, Prospective Student Open House in February, and Freshman Testing in April. Additionally, parent chaperones ensure the success and safety of school dances like Homecoming, Black Light, and Prom.

Recognition for Students, Faculty, and Staff

Good for U Award

The purpose of the Good for U Award is to recognize students that have not been previously celebrated at U-High or may not normally be recognized for their accomplishments at U-High or in surrounding communities.

Submit a nomination

A student or group may only be recognized once a school year. Anyone can submit a nomination. Up to 2 students or 1 group of students may be recognized at Booster meeting October through May. The nominations must be turned in prior to the Booster meeting and have administration approval.

Faculty and Staff Appreciation

We appreciate the faculty and staff at U-High and like to take all opportunities to show our gratitude and support!
