UHS students and staff yesterday had the privilege to hear guest speaker, Jeremy Bates, share his one-of-a-kind prevention program that was infused with thought provoking, relevant content, and challenged his audience to make healthy choices that reflect the greatness they deserve. A big thank you to G & M Distributors of Galesburg, for making this guest speaker appearance possible and to United's Mrs. Jennifer Stoneking for her help in arranging this event.
Congratulations to the following students who were chosen as Students of the Month for February/March 2026 - UHS: Ella, Emma, Max, & Lindley; and UJH: Janea & Taylee. All students chosen represent one or more of our “Core Values.” UHS’ Core Values are Empathy, Pride, Integrity, Commitment, and Family. UJH’s Core Values are Responsibility, Respect, Compassion, Integrity, and Academic Excellence. All of these students received a coupon for Scooter’s! Congratulations, again!
On Thursday, April 16, 2026, guest speaker, Jeremy Bates, will be speaking to students in grades 9-12. Mr. Bates is known as “The Hope Dealer;” this program is a one-of-a-kind prevention program that infuses live, interactive music, with thought provoking, relevant content, challenging youth and adults to make healthy choices that reflect the greatness they deserve. He takes audiences on a journey through his life to demonstrate how “H-bombs” (hope, humor, head, and heart) are at the core of the choices we make, especially those involving underage drinking and drunk driving. Arming both youth and adults with the same”H’s” that saved his life, everyone will want to join the ranks of the Hope Dealers! If you wish to not have your student partake in this event, please contact the high school office at 309-734-9411.

This is a reminder to UJSHS families regarding our pre-arranged absence policy (Student Handbook pages 6-7). Pre-arranged absences must be approved by the building principal at least 5 school days prior to leaving. Parents must provide a written request or contact their student's building office by phone. Once the absence is approved, students will receive a pre-arranged absence form to complete and return to the office before leaving for the missed day(s). We realize that there are instances where giving prior notice is not possible. We simply ask for the courtesy of letting the school know in instances where a student knows they will be absent from school on specific future date(s). Thank you.
