If you are not on the K-12 Payment center for lunch payments, then please use the link below to create an account. You will need your student school ID number in order to create an account.

UPHS offers Club Days twice a month with an altered Bell Schedule. Students can choose to get extra help/time on their school work in certain clubs, may join a service club, sports clubs, arts clubs, academic clubs, or even just choose to zen out in our relax and color/reading/knitting/crochet clubs. There is something for everyone! Take a look at our options:

Check out the altered Bell Schedule for our Club Days along with the scheduled Club Days for the 24-25 school year:

Starting this week, only press/media with NCHSAA passes will be permitted on the track and field. If you do not hold this pass, then you will be asked to leave the area.

Additionally, all other athletic events at UPHS will require a NCHSAA pass to be permitted past the spectator area.

Save some cash and purchase our Athletic Annual Sports Pass! All ticketing goes through GoFan this year. You can purchase individual tickets for a sporting event costing $10 each or purchase the annual sports pass for your family and save money. There are multiple options based on your family size to choose from.

You can support Union Pines Athletics by volunteering at our concession stands. This effort helps bring our community together, increases our revenue, and adds spirit and pride to our school. Sign up to help here: UnionPinesAthletics.com.

Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm. Let’s work together to make this Gala a night to remember!

ATTENTION all Seniors and Senior Parents: Make sure you follow the Senior Playbook throughout the school year. This gives you tons of important information throughout the school years, so bookmark it on your computer!

Moore County Schools is committed to protecting students' online safety by implementing a multi-layered approach to digital security. One of the key tools in this effort is Gaggle a comprehensive monitoring system that helps safeguard students while they use school-issued devices. Gaggle actively scans emails, documents, and messages for signs of cyberbullying, inappropriate content, or harmful behavior, alerting school officials when necessary. This proactive system, along with other security measures, ensures that students can learn and explore in a safe online environment, while also teaching them to be responsible digital citizens.

This is limited to Moore County School devices, but with parent partnership, we can ensure you can protect your student when using personal devices. Look over a few helpful tips on using parent controls on your iPhone and Android devices.
