One of the highest honors a senior may receive comes each spring when Mr. and Miss Union are selected. This honor is bestowed on a boy and girl who have excelled in academics, community service and other aspects of student life. Selection is determined through a combination of student vote and teacher selection.

During the ceremony, friends introduced the candidates, and each candidate was asked a question that they answered in front of their students.

This year, Mr. Union candidates included: Caleb Barrows, Daniel Flores, Ethan Jackson, Quinn Johnson, Kayden Kehe, Emerson Leavitt, Ryan Pitchford, Blake Posey, Mark Solla, and Grayson Tempest.

Miss Union candidates included: Karleny Alfonzo, Claire Baggett, Hadley Brown , Aleena Chaudhary, Taryn Cox, Wendy Cruz, Kaitlyn Dennis, Dorothy Huynh, Makayla Goode, and Celestine Kim.

After the ceremony, the court enjoyed a limo ride to the Education Service Center where Child Nutrition and High School administration had prepared a feast for them in the Board room. Students were also excused for the rest of the day.
