The UA Project ADAM team trains and runs drills year-round, so we're always ready for the unexpected. With every team member assigned a specific role, we have a precise plan in place to handle sudden cardiac arrest in those first critical minutes.

Thanks to Project ADAM, we are helping our schools, sports programs, and community stay "Heart Safe" and equipped with the life-saving resources we need.

See something that doesn't feel right? Don't stay silent. The Say Something App empowers youth and young adults to anonymously report concerns and protect their peers. It's about education, empowerment, and looking out for one another. 📱✨ The link is located right inside the UA Mobile App.

Last week’s Track Camp and Basketball Camp brought plenty of energy, hard work, and skill-building as students trained while having fun along the way. We loved seeing their dedication and enthusiasm, and we can’t wait to see what this week’s camps have in store! 🏃‍♂️🏀☀️

🚨 FRESHMAN ORIENTATION: CLASS OF 2030 🚨

Mark your calendars! Incoming freshmen, join us on July 24 from 9AM - 12PM in the HS Gym for your official welcome to high school.

This students-only event is led by our Student Link Crew. You’ll learn all about high school requirements, discover different ways to get involved on campus, and connect with your peers.

Union Academy has officially collected 1 MILLION pop tabs (1,000 lbs) to date for the Ronald McDonald House, including 329.85 lbs just this school year!

Hunter Hughes,Community Engagement Specialist for the RMH, stopped by UA to present a well-deserved certificate to Mrs. Ellise, Mrs. Beare, and our incredible Character Crew for spearheading this effort.

Our latest donations provided 10 nights of lodging for a family while their child was in the hospital. This cause hits close to home as former UA student Colby Holmes and his family relied on the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte during an unexpected illness in 2016. His mother shared that the house provided "rest, security, and convenience" when their world was falling apart, and his sister Aubry was even gifted a blanket made by UA students!

We love seeing our students' service to the community have a real impact!
