Its student body is about 99 percent African American.[1] Until 1972 it was Monroe County Training School.[2][3][4] Bulldogs are the school mascot.[2] Monroe County Training School's[5][6] principal was J. F. Shields.[7] Marva Collins taught at the school.[8] Juanita Abernathy also taught at the school.[9]
History
[edit]Monroe County Training School is noted in a 1922 Educational Directory of Alabama.[10] Marie Bankhead Owen's encyclopedia of Alabama describes the school as a "leading school for the Negro race".[11]
Union High School was established on the site of the former Bethlehem Industrial Academy in Monroeville, Alabama's Clausell Community.
Basketball player John Drew set division records at the school.[12] He led the team to a stare championship in 1972.[13]
An early warning truancy program was studied at the school and a report on it published in 1996.[14] Marion Mcintosh served as the school's principal.[15]
In 1999 it was noted as one of the district's schools with the highest levels of poverty.[16]
Athletics
