USJ Highlights

Learning…like Lincoln

Greetings USJ Families,

I spent the majority of my adult life teaching history, and I have always loved stories that timelessly relate to our contemporary lives. Lincoln has always been one of my favorites, the central figure of a remarkable tale of how man can be plucked from obscurity to play such a pivotal role on the world’s stage.

USJ Alumni Shine in Washington, D.C.

Recently, a group of USJ alumni traveled to Washington, D.C., alongside the Jackson Chamber, where they were delighted to connect with fellow Bruins who are living, working, and leading in our nation’s capital.

The Challenge for This New Year

Our administrative team completes a book study every summer. We believe it imperative that we, as leaders, live out the mission of lifelong learning. The expectation is that every USJ student reads every summer, and as I’ve often shared, reading is a superpower. We should follow suit.
