With the start of the 2009 school year, UHS has begun its tenth year as a charter school.  This year promises to be exciting.  

• September 14th we have our Back to School Night.  
• September 24th we have the Dedication Ceremony for our new arcade style fitness center, a gift to the school as the grand prize winners of the Governor's Fitness Challenge.  
• October 16th at 2pm the entire school, and much of our community will be on hand for our Ground-Breaking ceremony at the site of our new building.  
• November 14th our students will take the stage when we fill Saroyan Theatre for Magic of the Arts, our annual musical event.  

These events and others to follow will all take place against the back drop of the new school where construction has begun, and on a daily basis progress is being made towards the completion of the building that next year will be our permanent home.  Our tenth anniversary will be a year like none other, and we are excited to get it started.

On August 1st contractors began working on our new building set to be completed in October of 2010.  The building was designed by the internationally recognized firm of DSJ and will be constructed by Zumwalt construction.  It will be the most progressive high school built in the valley. The new building includes three wings.  A two-story classroom wing that has 19 classrooms including four science labs, a PE room and a computer lab.  A music wing that includes three large performance spaces and a small recording studio and an administration wing for our counselors and administrative staff.   All three wings are set around a large courtyard that includes a vending area for students.  Our school population will not increase with our new building but the larger classroom spaces and other rooms will give our students and teachers more room to implement our program.  This project is funded with Prop 55 money and parent contributions and is scheduled to cost around 16 million dollars.
