United Local School District will be closed today, December 2, 2025, due to weather.
We are excited to highlight the incredible educators who guide, support, and inspire our youngest learners each day. Our first grade team includes Mrs. Garn, Mrs. Rickard, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Spillman, and Mr. Wright.
Together, they form an outstanding team—one that leads with heart, creativity, and a shared commitment to helping our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Their dedication truly brightens the lives of our little ones every single day.
We are grateful for all they do for our students and our school community. Stay tuned as we continue spotlighting more of our amazing teams!

A big congratulations to Luke Hull for earning principal percussionist at the Youngstown Youth Orchestra and getting accepted to the Ohio All-State Orchestra! Luke is the first musician from United Local to get accepted to the Ohio All-State Orchestra. He is also the section leader of the United Drum Line and continues to help teach future generations of drummers. Keep up the good work Luke!
A big congrats to Sydney Thompson and Allison Conser on their performance with the YSU Side by Side Honors Band! Thank you for representing United Local and taking your talents beyond the classroom!
Mrs. Hepner took a group of junior high math students to YSU for a Mega Math Day. Students participated in a team competition with 11 other schools and attended workshops about different real life math implementations. The workshops ranged from higher level problem solving job interview questions, magic tricks, counting animal populations and even used an abacus. Two of our students earned prizes in the mixed team competition. Great day using math!
Happy Appreciation Day to our Substitute Teachers! A huge THANK YOU to our great substitute teachers for the support that they provide to our students and staff members. We appreciate all of their hard work, in continuing to help our students to learn when we need someone to step in to fill a spot.
We are UNITED in our appreciation for all that you do! Thanks to all the amazing substitute teachers out there!

Today is World Kindness Day! “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” Quote by: Scott Adams
Ways that you can share kindness with those around you:
1. Send an uplifting text to a loved one
2. Be kind and courteous on the road when driving
3. Intentionally allow laughter and kindness into your everyday life
4. Step out of your comfort zone if it will make someone smile
5. Take a moment to compliment others
6. Connect with your family members or friends
7. Buy someone a cup of coffee – or treat yourself.

Yesterday our students and staff came together to honor the men and women who have served our country during our Veterans Day Assembly. Thank you to Mr. Blatch for planning and organizing the program and to all students and staff who contributed to making this meaningful event happen. A heartfelt thank you to Lieutenant Colonel John Tucker, U.S. Army (Ret.), for sharing his powerful message and to all of our local veterans who joined us today. United Local is proud to honor those who have protected our freedom today and every day.
On behalf of all of us here at United Local School District, we extend our deepest gratitude to all Veterans. Thank you for your unwavering commitment, your courage, and your sacrifice in service to our country.
