Union Elementary Named NC National Title I Distinguished School!
Union Elementary School took top honors today when they were named the 2017 NC National Tittle I Distinguished School!
During the 2016-2017 school year, there were 1,443 Title I schools in North Carolina. Only 10% of these schools met eligibility to be considered for this award. Fourteen schools were selected to submit portfolios which led to the selection of the the final four. Last week, Union staff welcomed members of a review team from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
At a special ceremony today in Greensboro, Union Elementary edged out two other elementary schools and a high school to win the top honor for high performance and bring home a check for $12,500.
There is no doubt, "The sun is always shining at Union!"
Congratulations, Dolphins!
