Welcome to University High School!
A Magnet School Of Distinction
Thomas Ott

   

Hello Cougars and Cougar Families!  

University High School’s International Baccalaureate program has been named a National Merit School of Distinction by Magnet Schools of America, the national association for magnet and theme-based schools. 

University High School’s International Baccalaureate consists of our Pre-IB track for students accepted into the program during their 9th and 10th grade year leading into our IB Diploma program in the 11th and 12th grades.  University’s International Baccalaureate Program is a rigorous course of study designed to meet the needs of highly motivated secondary students and to promote international understanding. The effectiveness of the IB program is due not only to the depth of the individual courses, but also to the comprehensive nature of the program. Unlike other honors programs, the IB Program requires each student to take advanced courses in six areas (English, History, Science, Math, World Language, and an IB Elective).  UHS’s IB program is responsible for the majority of our Top 10 in class each year and for numerous admissions into highly coveted postsecondary institutions.

Presentation of Distinction Award:

Principal Ott and members of our magnet leadership team will be recognized and receive a National Merit School of Distinction Award on behalf of the school during an awards ceremony held at Magnet Schools of America’s National Conference April 7-10, 2025, in Nashville.

To receive a national merit award, members of Magnet Schools of America must submit a detailed application that is scored by a panel of educators. These schools are judged and scored on their demonstrated ability to raise student academic achievement, promote racial and socioeconomic diversity, provide integrated curricula and instruction, and create strong family and community partnerships that enhance the school’s magnet theme.
