Parents are crucial partners in the Laker education

In 1956 a group of pioneering families founded ULS with rare purpose and energy.  We are proud to partner with parents in this shared mission of unparalleled Laker education, now and forever. A community of learning is committed to the well-being and education of all its members. Thank you in advance for your warm presence, thoughtful participation, and meaningful support at all levels of Laker life.
