For the fifth time in eight years, a new principal has begun his reign at U. City. Mr. Michael Maclin has begun the process of making changes and improvements.

“The most obvious thing that I have seen is the support given to teachers by the administration, said Ms. April Pezzola, social studies teacher. “I also believe that the prohibition of electronics has resulted in a calmer student body with less unnecessary drama. I also believe that the administration involvement in the community has had a direct impact on student behavior. And lastly, teachers are being treated as adults who have invested interest in real student success. I think that Maclin shows real leadership and concern about teacher morale while at the same time being very clear about his expectations,”

Maclin says he enjoys his time with students and staff.

“UCHS is a great place,” said Maclin. “It also has its challenges just like other schools.”

With 12 years of experience in education, Maclin most recently served as an assistant principal at Maplewood Richmond Heights High School.

“This institution is a place that cultivates learning and I want to provide real world experiences while students are in high school,” said Maclin.

With the help of our students and faculty, Maclin hopes to better our school, make memories, and create a great school environment for years to come.

“The most memorable moment I’ve had was homecoming and to see the talents of our students,” said Maclin. “U. City is and should be a place where students are proud to attend.”
