Last week, Moore County Schools held their annual Volunteer Luncheon and we were able to celebrate Mrs. Natalie Whaley as last year's volunteer of the year. She has made a huge impact on our school and Athletic Booster Club! We are so thankful to have you as a Viking!

A massive thanks from the UP Athletic Booster Club to everyone who contributed to make our 2nd annual RiseUp gala a huge success. We are super excited to report our initial estimates show we raised an outstanding $80,000 to go towards our goal of $155k for renovations to the women’s indoor locker rooms as well as field house and weight room expansion.

But the momentum doesn’t stop here! We’re accepting donations year-round to help us reach our goal. Join the cause at https://donate.stripe.com/5kA3dbbl161p8Yo28a

Want to stay connected? Follow us at linktr.ee/upathletics for all the details on how to volunteer, donate, and grab tickets and merchandise. Let’s keep the excitement going and make a lasting impact together!

September 30th-October 4th

Join us in downtown Carthage at 6:30PM for our Homecoming Parade! The streets close at 6PM, so make sure you get there early and save a seat!

October 5th

You can pay online for school lunches by using the K-12 Payment Center. Additionally, you can send in a check for your child to add to their lunch account.

Seniors: you're invited to our annual Senior Sunrise breakfast on November 1st at 7:15 am on the football field. Bring a picnic blanket to sit on the field and watch the sun rise on your senior year!

Parents of a senior or local community: we would love to make this a fantastic event, but we need your help with raising funds. Please donate with check or cash to the front office. Anywhere from $10-$100 is helpful! Any leftover funds will go towards other senior events throughout the year.

A signup genius will be going out soon to collect utensils, plates, and napkins along with volunteer times to help run the tables at the sunrise breakfast.

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:
