University High School (Normal)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
University High School ("U-High"), located in Normal, Illinois, is one of two "laboratory schools" of the College of Education at Illinois State University designed for research and teacher-training; the other is the Thomas Metcalf School, a grade school. University High School offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities and has a strong history of sports in addition to its rich academic tradition.
The combined enrollment of both laboratory schools is limited by state law to 1000 students.[citation needed] U-High enrolls approximately 600 students while Metcalf enrolls about 400. However, the IHSA institutes an enrollment multiplier for non-boundaried schools such as U-High, thus classifying it as a larger school in athletic competition.
The principal is currently Mr. Jeff Hill, and the vice principal is Mr. Steve Wilder. The mascot is the Pioneer, although students jokingly refer to themselves as the "Lab Rats" due to the school's nature as a lab school where research is performed by the university's faculty and students. The school colors are green and gold.
