Resilience. Dedication. Leadership. Service.

Utica Community Schools is once again celebrating the stories of everyday heroes who represent these principles in our community through a month-long series called #UCSchampions.

“This year once again challenged our community, and I am proud of the continued partnerships that support our students and families,” said Superintendent Robert S. Monroe. “UCS has a long history of coming together to tackle hard issues. We want to again ask our community to help us tell those stories that inspire us and remind us of the power of community.”

Community members can nominate past or present individuals, groups or programs. To suggest champions, please visit http://www.uticak12.org/ucschampions
