Open House Invitation Cards:

  • Reminder: Two weeks ago, your student was sent home with two physical postcards. These postcards are invitations to visit UCA for an open house. If you have not already, along with your student, would you place those postcards in the hands of two people who would be a good fit at UCA? We are accepting applications from current high schoolers looking to transfer and current 8th graders. The Class of 2025 will cap at 25 students.
