It is one of five high schools in Randolph County, Indiana. In 2004 Union High School was named an Indiana Four Star School by the Indiana Department of Education. The school is a member of the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA),[2] which is the governing body for high school sports in the state of Indiana.
History
editUnion High School (Modoc) was formed in 1952 after the closing of three small high schools: Modoc High School, Losantville High School, and Huntsville High School. For the first five years, students attended the old Modoc High School.[citation needed] At the time, the school was oversubscribed. When the school formed, it was the largest high school in the county.[3]
In 1957, the new building was finished, and all students were relocated to the new building. In 1968 an addition was completed allowing Blountsville School, which housed grades 1–8, to be closed and consolidated with Union.
