Attention High School parents, staff & student drivers! We now have construction equipment sitting in our West parking lot. They will be digging in the area of our water erosion area to determine what is causing it and how to remedy it. Please give this equipment a wide berth when parking to allow it enough room to do its job. Tomorrow may be a good day to park in the North lot instead. {{hint, hint}}

ATTENTION STAFF & STUDENTS!! Due to a water issue that has caused damage to the pavement of the middle entrance to the west parking lot (near the softball field) making it unsafe to drive on, it will be closed until further notice. You will either need to park in the North lot (by the gym) or VERY CAREFULLY enter/exit using the entrance near Houpt Drive. We hope to have this corrected soon. This may cause slow downs in the morning drop off and afternoon pick up lines. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation while we correct this matter.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR HIGH SCHOOL DRIVERS AND/OR PARENTS!! We are experiencing a water erosion issue located in the middle entrance to the West parking lot. This has caused the pavement to become unstable and unsafe to drive on. Beginning immediately, this middle entrance will be closed until we can correct the situation. Please use extreme caution using the South entrance (near Houpt Drive) to enter/exit the West lot. We hope to have this corrected as quickly as possible. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

ATTENTION:
The sixth installment of the "All Heart Athlete of the Month" voting is now open to Ram Nation. The USHS Athletic Department is once again excited and proud to promote this very special recognition for our amazing student-athletes. The All-Heart Athlete of the Month is a great way to show some love and recognition for our student-athletes and what they do on and off the field of play. The way this will work is that every month, students at USHS will get the chance to nominate a student-athlete that they feel embodies all of the elements of the AHAOTM. Those elements include Hard work, Enthusiasm, Ambition, Responsibility, and Thoughtfulness. These elements are further described in the documents tab of our district website for your reference. Once the students have made their nominations, the field is narrowed down to the top three by vote of the staff at USHS. These top three male and female athletes are then sent to you, Ram Nation, for your vote. You can vote for one male and female student-athletes using the Google Form attached to this post. The final tally will result in who is crowned the All-Heart Athlete of the Month. If you have any questions about this process please contact the USHS Athletic Department and we will be happy to assist you. The voting will end on Friday, March 14th at midnight so please get your votes in by that deadline. Thanks in advance for your participation in this special recognition.
