United South Central School District

It's opening night and we're ready to head to the Emerald City! As a final dress rehearsal, Dorothy (Emma J.), Scarecrow (Josh B.), Tin Man (Liam S.), and the Cowardly Lion (Ezra E.) traveled with director Kirstyn Wegner to the Parkview Care Center. There they dazzled residents with songs from the timeless classic 'The Wizard of Oz', the musical showing this weekend in Rebel Country. Enjoy this sneak peek! A reminder that performances are Friday (11/8) and Saturday (11/9) at 7:00pm, and Sunday (11/10) at 2:00pm in the Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased in advance in the high school office, or on the afternoon/evening of the performance at the door. Come for one, two, or all three shows! You'll be glad you did. See you there, Rebels! #prideUSC

USC students in grades 5-12 participated in Minnesota's official statewide mock election! This was sponsored by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State and the YMCA Center for Youth Voice. Each student received an official sample ballot and voted in federal, state, and local races. USC's results from the presidential race are added to the statewide mock election numbers. Our mock election results include 283 votes for Trump/Vance, 83 votes for Harris/Walz, and 11 third-party votes. Students who led our mock election also participated as election judge trainees in the official election at the Wells Community Center. Thank you to Sam Seipp for allowing this great opportunity for our students!

Please make note of the updated start dates for our winter sports getting underway in the next couple of weeks! #prideUSC

🚨 Attention USC community! 🚨 We’re excited to share our upcoming survey as part of our strategic planning process, which started in March 2024. A dedicated team has been working to assess our school and improve continuously. We held focus groups to hear from students, staff, and families about their desired daily experiences, shaping our strategic roadmap, mission, and vision. Now, we need YOUR feedback before we finalize the plan for board approval in December! 📅 The survey is open until December 2nd at 11:59 p.m. Check out the attached PDF for the complete strategic roadmap and share your input via the linked Google Form. Your voice matters as we strive for a united future together! 🌟 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPGewqKDQF7wRFcaQzzPtANF0wAyGLeviIv0yC2dQxbexIYQ/viewform
