About UCCHS



About UCCHS
UCCHS is a North Central Association accredited Grades Nine through Twelve facility offering a solid core curriculum supported by a variety of electives. UCCHS also provides extracurricular opportunities for all students in athletics, clubs,and other organizations. A sampling of program offerings are listed by clicking the HS Programs tab.

Programs


Advanced Placement-Dual Credit: UCCHS students can now graduate with college credits in English, Science, and Mathematics. Some vocational students can also earn credit from IVY Tech for their work at the Muncie Area Career Center.

At Risk: This program provides in-school assistance for those students with poor or failing grades and are considered academically "at risk." It is an opportunity for grade improvement and helps prevent possible dropouts.

Cadet Teaching:
Students use study halls to work with North Side Elementary students and classes.

Community Service:
This is designed to give something back to the community. Past and continuing programs include: canned food drives, clearing brush, collecting coats for kids, Senior Citizen Center visits, etc. Through this program, a downtown park has been established on the former site of a burned-out building.

DECA: Two businesses are operated by Senior Marketing students: The TeePee, the school store, and Apache Design, a screen-printing business. These businesses give practical experience and are run as profit-making enterprises. Proceeds are used to defray trip costs and for program materials. Senior students may elect to work part-time in local businesses. Our DECA instructor, Mr. Tom Johnson, was a recent Indiana DECA Teacher of the Year.

FFA: This program promotes agricultural careers in and out of the classroom. Our 4H programs are an integral part of this.

Friday Night School:
Students can be assigned to Friday Night School as another option for discipline.

Rescue Academy:
This is the Randolph County alternative school that serves four of the five school districts. The Academy's purpose is to prevent dropouts, allow certain students to catch up on credits for graduation and eventually get back to their home high school.RESTORE Club: This is an environmental club that maintains the RESC Outdoor Lab. Wood-chip trails and cleared areas have been recently added. A butterfly garden has been established outside the science rooms to attract various species of butterflies. This group also recycles UCCHS scrap paper.

School To Work: A progressive program offering career exploration activities to all UCCHS students. Testing, career information, visitations, interviews and job shadowing are primary components of the program.

Study Skills:
Students who have attendance or academic problems can be assigned to this special class. Small groups of students are assisted every period.

Tech Prep: This is for students entering the work force after graduation or for those who will be attending up to a two-year vocational school. The focus is on building entry-level skills and connecting the school curriculum to the world of work.

Work Ethics: UCCHS is a pilot school for the Randolph County Economic Development and the Indiana Workforce Development Boards. It is a program for juniors and seniors to earn a "Work Ethics" certificate to show future employers or educational institutions they are ready for the world of work. Points are earned for attendance, behavior, promptness, cooperation, academics, and community service
