Ukiah High’s Summer Academy program, designed to prepare incoming 9th graders for success as a member of WildcatNation, is now accepting applicants. The application can be accessed on the Ukiah High website and the Ukiah Unified School District Facebook page.
Ukiah High students who attend Summer Academy are provided a crash course in Ukiah High success. They get to meet their teachers, know the physical campus, understand high school and college preparation requirements and strategies for excelling as a freshman in high school.
Summer Academy also provides students with an opportunity to become acquainted with Ukiah High’s Career Technical Education offerings. Students have learned how to change a tire in the Auto Shop, made wine racks for their parents in the Welding Shop, and learned the basics of construction in the Woodshop.
Summer Academy students are provided field trips to nearby college campuses to help them envision their future. Ukiah High’s Summer Academy has toured UC Berkeley, UC Davis, San Francisco State, Humboldt State University, Sonoma State University and Mendocino College.
