PROM IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!! Prom is Saturday April 12th, 2025. Prom tickets are $30 for all students whether you plan to take advantage of the provided meal or not. You can now sign up for prom in the office. Students will have until Friday March 28th to sign up for the meal at the Courtyard Marriott catered by Starbecks Smokehouse (pulled chicken, pulled pork, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and green beans with a roll). Tickets without a meal can be purchased through April 4th. All tickets must be paid for by April 4.

JUNIORS AND SENIORS: If you are planning on bringing a guest to prom that is NOT a student at Union, they must be in grade 9, 10, 11, or 12 in good standing, or a past graduate under the age of 21. You will need to pick up a guest form in the office that needs to be completed by your parent and the principal, assistant principal or counselor of your guest’s school. This form must be returned to the Union High School office by the end of the day, 4/9/25.
