It was a great day for United High School Golf! The girls defeated Illini Bluffs 179 to 230 with Meredith Yung taking medalist honors with an even par 36. The boys dominated The United Open at Gibson Woods scoring 317 and taking the top four individual spots on the day. Aiden Martin was the event's medalist with a 75, Ian Leffler shot a 76, followed by Lucas Horner in 3rd and Lance Baker in 4th.

United families, We are continuing to navigate the transition from Skyward to Teacher Ease. As we are doing so, please make note that the meal accounts are not up and running yet. It is still a work in progress. While we are waiting for everything to transfer, we have been keeping track manually of student meals. Once the system is up and running, we will scan meals that students have consumed up until that point. Thank you for being patient and understanding while we work through this transition.
