Promise Scholarships begin with eighth-grade students. $100 will be awarded and held in trust until graduation from Umatilla High School (UHS). For each year after, at UHS, if the student maintains a 2.5 or higher GPA, completes 12 hours of community service, and brings no dishonor to self or school, he/she will be awarded another $100. The total at graduation from UHS could be $500. Thank you, Umatilla Alumni Association, for your generous sponsorship and support of Umatilla students.

Las Becas Promise comienzan con los estudiantes de octavo grado. Se otorgarán $ 100 y se mantendrán en fideicomiso hasta que se gradúe de la Escuela Preparatoria de Umatilla (UHS). Por cada año posterior, en UHS, si el estudiante mantiene un GPA de 2.5 o más, completa 12 horas de servicio comunitario y no se deshonra ni a sí mismo ni a la escuela, se le otorgarán otros $ 100. El total al graduarse de UHS podría ser de $ 500. Gracias, Asociación de Antiguos Alumnos de Umatilla, por su generoso patrocinio y apoyo a los estudiantes de Umatilla.
We reviewed MAP reading scores for the entire school to determine the students who showed the most growth in reading for each grade level at MHES, as well as the top readers in the school. These students will receive a new bike to enjoy for the summer! We want to give a special thank you to our local Tuscan Masonic Lodge for donating bikes to reward students for growth in reading. Congratulations, readers!

Umatilla High School will be hosting a prom. Due to Covid restrictions, the dance will be held outside on the tennis courts this Saturday, May 15th from 8-10 pm. Due to it being a dance related event, there will be loud music playing during the event. We know this may be disruptive for a couple of hours in the evening, but hope you understand the excitement we have in providing our juniors and seniors the opportunity to have a prom. Thank you for your understanding.
