Subbie Retreat

Subbie Retreat and Advisory Program

Subbies celebrate the end of their first week at Uni by going on a retreat planned for them by their Subbie Buddies and advisors. Subbies continue to meet for the first 3 quarters in study halls that help with adjustment to Uni’s academic expectations and social life.

Student Lounge

The lounge promises an inviting atmosphere in which to sleep, talk, study, or listen to music in a place where students are welcome. The use of the lounge is a privilege and plays an integral role in the daily lives of a large percentage of the student body.

Homecoming Dance

Dances and Social Events

All Uni High dances (excluding Prom) are open to all students of the school. A nominal fee may be charged for admission to dances. This fee is used as either a fundraiser for a class/organization or to help offset the cost of organizing the dance. Below are some of the main dances held each year at Uni High and the sponsoring groups.

  • Howdy Hop: The Howdy Hop is the first official dance of the year. It provides an opportunity for students to get better acquainted.
  • Homecoming: A major social event during the fall at Uni High. It is a dance usually held at a country club and allows students to socialize with each other. 
  • Winter Formal/Spring Fling: These can be major social events at Uni High. Sometimes it is a formal dance, other times it is semi-formal or informal.
  • Prom: Held at the end of the year, Prom is sponsored by the junior class in honor of the departing senior class. It is a formal/semi-formal affair and is open to juniors and seniors and their guests only.

Senior Supper

Before graduation, the seniors’ rite of passage to “alumnihood” begins with a candlelight supper. Seniors exchange their Last Words in a souvenir publication and leave their mark on the school with hand printing in the student lounge.

PFO Picnic

Picnics

  • Every year, the Uni High staff and parents host a potluck picnic at the beginning of the year to allow families to get to know each other more. 
  • The Disorientation Picnic is sponsored by the Student Council and is the last social event of the year. It is a great way to remember the year.
