Hello Utica High families, 

Welcome to the Utica High website!  We do our best to keep the website as up to date as possible and full of useful information.  Please make sure to use our "How Do I?" tab to get to our frequently used links. The banner in the middle of the page highlights district and school priorities.  And, of course, there is our calendar page above, various tabs for students and parents in the middle, and news stories below. Our Academics tab, above, is another important page with links to various departments such as counseling, has teacher Emails, and more! 

We will do our best to keep you constantly updated on with frequent communication from Utica High! If you need to visit the school for official business, please call ahead and make an appointment.  All visitors must perform a COVID pre-screening.  At this point, wearing a face mask is a personal decision, but I will expect all staff, students and guests to be respectful of others' choices.  We are always a phone call or Email away if you need assistance.  Our office number is 586-797-2200.  

Thank you for being an incredible community to serve!
