📢 Let's welcome our new staff!
Laura Lammert is one of our new teachers joining our Special Education Team!
What are you most looking forward to in your new role at UGHS? I am looking forward to working with and getting to know new teachers and students!
What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of education? I am a huge sports fan and I spend a lot of my time coaching tennis and supporting/watching other athletics. I also enjoy spending time with my family and my fur babies!
What inspired you to become a teacher/go into education? I was inspired to go into education because I wanted to continue to make a difference in students lives just like my former teachers did for me. I want students to enjoy learning and learn in ways that benefit them and prepare them for their lives after high school.
Is there a quote/mantra that guides your teaching? The influence of a good teacher can never be erased! ✏️

📊 Understanding the Tax Impact of the $34.9 Million Referendum
As we approach the November vote, we want to provide clear information about how the proposed capital referendum will affect property taxes in our Union Grove High School community.
If the referendum passes, the property tax impact will be $54 for every $100,000 of assessed fair market property value. For example, a home valued at $300,000 would see an increase of $162 per year—equivalent to just $13.50 per month—beginning in the 2025-26 school year.
This investment is crucial for addressing facility needs, including enhancing safety and security, improving ADA accessibility, and expanding classroom capacity for our Technical Education program.
For more details and to see how this might impact you, visit our website: http://www.ugbroncos.com/referendum2024
Your support helps build a stronger future for our students and community!
