Union County Public Schools (UCPS) is committed to preparing each graduate for a successful future. We recognize that the world is changing at a rapid pace and all students (K-12) need specific skills to grow.
UCPS has completed its first Portrait of a Graduate outlining characteristics each student should have upon graduation.
In partnership with parents, students, business owners, educators and industry leaders, the district developed a graduate profile to guide the work. We believe these five qualities will prepare each student to succeed after high school, no matter if they attend college, the military or enter the workforce.
