🎓🐾USHS Graduation Day 🐾🎓

Today was a memorable day as we celebrated the United South High School Class of 2026!

Congratulations to all of our Early College Panthers who walked across the stage and now begin a new chapter in life.

On behalf of the Early College Club, Early College Faculty and Staff, we are so proud of your incredible accomplishments! We hope you made memories to last a lifetime, and wish you all the best in the future! Keep being a bright light in this world.

The United South Early College Class of 2026 will always hold a special place in my heart as my first cohort and I will always be grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Early College Club Sponsor.

Earlier this week, the United South Early College held the 2030 Cohort Parent Meeting. Mr. Burrier, Early College Dean, and Ms. Ramos, Early College Counselor, reviewed important program expectations with the incoming 9th Grade students and their parents as they prepare to start their high school journey.

We also had Early College senior Brody Gutierrez speak about his Early College experience and Caroline Palacios assist in welcoming students and parents. Ms. Rojo-Buendia, Early College Club Sponsor, assisted in promoting the Early College Club to students and parents.
