Hospitality Homeroom

What is “hospitality homeroom”? Well I’ll be happy to tell you. It is a group of very unique and special seniors (all part of the big brothers/sister program) who instead of sleeping in an extra half hour, arrive at UC every day at 7:30 am to meet our “freshman for a day” visitors. They wait in homeroom for our visitors to arrive and they share their stories and experiences of being a student here at UC. They are all about the hospitality. As seniors they have a lot of pressures on them. College visits, SATs, AP tests, labs, outside club responsibilities, jobs and social lives. It’s not unusual for me to walk into homeroom early to see all of them studying for upcoming tests. But even with all these demands on their time, as soon as our visitors arrive, the books are closed, smiles on faces and they welcome you!

We have a lot of personalities in our homeroom. Sarah is definitely our morning person and can instantaneously make you feel at home. Ryan, one of UC’s top track stars and Steve, one of the starting varsity pitchers for the Vikings, aren't quite the morning people that Sarah is, but happy to welcome you just the same - I think they just happy to be in a homeroom of mostly girls! Samantha is our cheerleader and I think has visited the most colleges of anyone in the senior class. Angela is involved in the Student Movement Against Cancer (SMAC) and is very organized – she helps keep us organized - she is also our starting softball catcher! Christina is our volleyball player (you can see her picture in our new viewbook) she has a very dry quick sense of humor. She may be small, but she is big in heart and school spirit. Angelica and Katie are two of our quieter girls with the best smiles, and warmest personalities, they can make even our shyest visitors feel at home. Last but not least is Maggie. Maggie is one of the senior members of Union Catholic’s Peer Ministry group. She, like most of our students juggle many activities and clubs, but nothing is ever too much trouble. No matter how tired or how much she has on her plate, she is always there lending her hand!

This is our homeroom, a cast of many personalities, all come together to help prospective students start they day off on the right foot! Come meet them – they’d be happy to tell you about life at UC, happy to make you feel a part of the UC family – after all, we are “hospitality homeroom”
