OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR & OUTSTANDING STUDENTS
Mrs. Fitch and her students were recently recognized by Microsoft for scoring in the top ten in the state of Ohio on the Fall Certiport Industry Recognized Credential Specialist assessments. Each of the students pictured placed in the top ten in either Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. In fact, United students claimed all ten places in the PowerPoint assessment except for 3rd place. And seniors Justice Lewand and Emma McDevitt placed in the top ten for all three Microsoft applications.
Mrs. Fitch teaches the Microsoft certification course and was recognized as an “Outstanding Educator” for “…consistently having students rank in the top ten in the state” on these certification assessments. Superintendent Hostetler presented the award to Mrs. Fitch and congratulated all of the students for their success.

On January 11, 2024 the 8th grade United Learning Food Pantry class traveled to Operation Blessing in Canfield to pack bags of food for local citizens in need. They then visited Second Harvest Food Bank in Youngstown to learn about the day to day operations of a large food pantry.
7th graders participated in book clubs during Mrs. Conser’s ELA class during the month leading up to Christmas break. At the end of the month, clubs were able to nominate their book in up to five different categories to compete in United Local’s Winter Book Wars! After two rounds of student voting, we are happy to congratulate the five winning teams.
Second period’s 'The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die' won ‘Biggest Plot Twist.’ Third period’s 'Booked' won ‘Funniest/Most Awkward Moment.’ Seventh period’s 'Stung' won for the ‘Grossest Scene.’ Seventh period’s 'Solo' won for the ‘Worst Decision.’ 'Not if I Save You First' - also from seventh period - snagged the victory for the ‘Saddest Moment’ … by one vote! (Shout out to sixth period’s 'Legend' team for a close second in that category!)
A drawing between the five winning entries was held on Monday. Officer Bailey drew two of the winning book clubs, which allowed those team members to receive a free book from United’s book vending machine. Congratulations to 'Booked' and 'Stung' for winning the final drawing! A special thank you to the community and staff members who have brought the book vending machine to our students!
