WELCOME TO ACADEMY DAY, 2023
We’re so glad you’re here! This is your opportunity to ask questions, meet new friends, and explore possibilities here at Upper Columbia Academy. We hope you’ll like what you discover!
Make sure to pick up your backpack and nametag at the registration table just inside the gym entrance. Check the zipper pocket for your UCA water tower sticker (designed by current UCA senior, Gabrielle Townsend) and a coupon for a goodie from the UCA Bakery.
If you have any questions during the day, any staff member will be happy to assist you and help you find what you’re looking for.
Have a wonderful time!
