The School District of University City was recently mentioned in the Gasconade County Republican as a recipient of an Environmental Education Subaward funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

This funding will support student-led Green School projects and further strengthen the District’s Education for Sustainability and Agriculture program, which prepares students for future careers in conservation, agriculture, and environmental science.

Fox 2 News recently featured UCHS Lady Lions Jael (senior), Jayce (junior), and Jayani (freshman) Green, three sisters playing together on the same basketball team!
