Welcome to the Union 7th Grade Center
We welcome all seventh grade students and their parents!
Life As A 7th Grader
Our goal is to make this year stimulating and challenging academically, but also to provide a safe, comfortable environment for social and emotional growth.
Student Clubs
Union encourages all seventh graders to join a student club, athletics, spirit, drama, leadership, volunteering – well, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
A Community School
The 7th Grade Center has been a Community School for more than 10 years. Community Schools is a concept sweeping the nation and is focused around extending the resources students have available at school and in their community, including after school programming.
English Learners
It is Union's mission to provide English Learners and Immigrant students a high quality program, designed to assist students in learning English and to meet challenging state academic content and student academic standards.
