At Uni High, we strive to foster an environment where everyone, inclusive of race, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, political beliefs, disability, language, and religion, will feel welcome, visible, and heard.

The Uni High Winter Music Concert, featuring Orchestra, Chorus, and Madrigals, will be held Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 7 p.m. in Kenney Gym. 

Thank you to the Uni families who have already offered, but we are only halfway there. The 20 French students and their 2 teachers are coming in late March and it is time to show our Uni Spirit and our welcoming attitude. Details are in the linked document. You will host them in your homes and they will shadow our students during the day, as well as have some planned activities on campus, in Urbana and in Champaign during their time here. They have worked hard to put their trip together so let's show them we are excited to have them here! Uni High and Lycée Charlemagne have had a connection since fall of 2021!

Uni's annual Black History Month Open Mic will be held in the Uni Library during lunch on Friday, Feb. 6. We invite students and staff to share short reading, a song, a piece of art, or some other text by a favorite Black writer, musician, artist, or scholar. We welcome students and staff to join as audience members even in you don't plan to share something. Please RSVP ahead of the event. Snacks will be provided to attendees who have RSVPed.
