CONGRATULATIONS to our USHS boys soccer program for being named a Silver Tier recipient of the 2023 United Soccer Coaches High School Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Awards! This award is presented every year to national high school soccer teams and coaches whose percentage of red or yellow card accumulation throughout the season is between 11-30%. Only 31 soccer teams (boys and girls) nationally were recipients of the Silver Tier award this year and we are so honored to be named one of those teams. Great job boys for your performances this season and more importantly for representing our school and community with fantastic sportsmanship and respect. We are proud of you! Ram Pride.

We are so proud of our student athletes for what they accomplish outside of the classroom but we are even more proud of what they do for their community. Since Thanksgiving, our Ram student athletes have been "ringing the bell" for the Salvation Army outside of A&A grocery four nights a week and doing so much good for our community. The turnout has been amazing and we want to share our gratitude to this group of great kids for putting community first. Great job Rams and Lady Rams. We are proud of you!
