College-Readiness
Even though it is an elementary school, UHCS seeks to prepare students with the will and the skills necessary for them to successfully reach and complete a college education. To that end the school names each classroom after a college, teaches students college facts and chants, and takes every student from kindergarten to fourth grade on a college visit each year.
