UCHS seniors took their final walk through where it all began! 💛🦁
Students and staff at Julia Goldstein, our elementary schools, and BWMS lined the hallways to cheer on the Class of 2026, celebrating their journey and sending them off with love, pride, and well wishes for all that’s ahead. Even some retired staff members came back to celebrate this special moment with our seniors!
Just 4 more days until graduation! 🎓
🌍🕊️ Our 6th and 7th grade students at Brittany Woods Middle School recently stepped into the role of global leaders during Middle School Model United Nations with Civitas STL!
After researching countries and real-world issues impacting citizens around the globe, students drafted UN-style resolutions and took part in a simulated General Assembly session. From presenting ideas to debating current events and proposing amendments, our students showcased thoughtful leadership, collaboration, and critical thinking every step of the way.
We are so proud of the way they used their voices to engage with the world around them!
Our BWMS and UCHS students lit up the stage during their spring dance concerts! 💃🕺
BWMS brought the energy with routines to iconic pop hits, while UCHS Kinesis: Icons celebrated legendary artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and more. 🎶
A huge shoutout to our talented students and amazing dance teachers, Miss Jay and Ms. Key, for an incredible weekend of music, movement, and artistry! 💛🦁
