My first blog =)

Let me introduce myself – my name is Betsy Thornton and I am Director of Admissions at Union Catholic High School. I am a graduate of Union Catholic Girls School - Class of 1975. Yes, “back in the day” Union Catholic was two different schools – the “girls’ side” and the “boys side and even though there were no cell phones, no laptops, or instant messaging some of my best memories took place in the halls of UC. I made life long friends and left after my four years prepared, educationally, socially and spiritually for the challenges that faced me.

Now that I am back in Union Catholic, it is my privilege to help students learn about UC. Our building has been alive with activity since the doors opened on a new school year. Last week we had over 350 8^th graders visit from some of our catholic sending schools for the 8^th grade Days of Recollection and our Freshman for a Day program is in full swing with visitors scheduled daily. Our doors are always open and our ambassadors are ready to give tours and show you around. As the school year progresses, I look forward to sharing weekly notes about “life in the UC community”.
