Excited to be back to school! How are your lunches? We are continuing the "Lunch out of Landfills" Program again at UHS. We will provide students with the opportunity to have a lower impact on our planetary production of trash. Composting and recycling is encouraged daily. Please do your part by helping us reduce our waste. The use of reusable bottles and containers along with reusable lunch boxes eliminates waste on a daily basis! Let's continue to help reduce the amount of trash our school produces!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to make our UHS Staff "Back to School" picnic such a success. It was the perfect way to give our teachers and staff an amazing dinner before heading into Back to School night. The food was absolutely delicious and we are so grateful to have such an amazing community that gives back to our school and staff. Wishing our students, teachers, staff and parents a wonderful school year ahead!

WHAT IS SAFE AND SANE?
Safe and Sane is an event hosted by Urbana High School (UHS) parents for each graduating class at UHS. It is an all-night event held on graduation night that includes games, bowling, laser tag, casino games, food and thousands of dollars in raffle prizes! The purpose is to provide graduates with an alcohol/drug free environment so they can celebrate. Parental help and donations are key to making this event happen.
