Union Grove Union High School

New Bronco Spotlight! #BroncoFam Katie Runkel-Seewald, Special Education Director I am most looking forward to getting to know our amazing learners and staff, and to be returning to the wonderful UG community!

New Bronco Spotlight! #BroncoFam Jon Atkins, Alternative Education Teacher Bronco Country! My name is Jon Atkins, and I am excited to start my 10th year in education as the new Alternative Education Teacher at UGHS! I am from Kenosha, WI, and am an alumnus of Bradford High School and Concordia University-Chicago. My first two years were at St. Monica Academy on the Northside of Chicago, where I served as the school's PE Teacher and Athletic Director. Upon returning to my hometown, I became the PE Teacher at Dimensions of Learning Academy, where I spent the previous 7 years. Over the last 11 years, I have held various baseball and basketball coaching positions between St. Patrick High School (Chicago), Kenosha Bradford High School, and Westosha Central High School. My wife is also a teacher, and we are proud parents of our nine and a half month old son and dog parents to our girl Harley. In preparing for and beginning this school year, it has been a pleasure working with and getting to know our fantastic staff and students. I am excited to be a part of and to serve the Union Grove community!

WUW Gymnastics, our Co-op with Wilmot, will be starting open gyms soon. See flyer for more information.

New Bronco Spotlight! #BroncoFam Richard Fonk, Technology Education Teacher I am excited to be an educator at UGHS because I love the community we serve. My family has lived in Union Grove for over 6 generations and being a teacher at UGHS gives me the opportunity to leave a lasting impression on the youth of our community.

New Bronco Spotlight! #BroncoFam! Carolyn Heifner, School Social Worker I worked at Union Grove Elementary School, Yorkville and Raymond for 10 years and then worked in Kenosha for the last 8 years. I am very excited to be back in Union Grove and work at the high school. I love airplanes and run a camp at EAA AirVenture and got to marshall in the F-35 this summer. When I am not at work, I will be at the Racine County Pony Club watching my daughter ride and jump horses.

New Bronco Spotlight! #BroncoFam Nicole Fish, English Teacher I’m extra excited to be teaching at UGHS because I graduated from Westosha Central High School in 2011, so teaching in Union Grove feels like going back to my roots! I’m going on my 8th year as an English teacher, and I spent my first 7 in Kenosha Unified at Harborside Academy teaching sophomores. One interesting fact about me is that my first full-time teaching experience was actually teaching Outdoor Education at Camp Timber-lee during the 2015-2016 school year. I think that’s a big part of why I love to be outside so much: the outdoors was my first classroom! When I’m not teaching, I’m probably hiking or biking a trail with my partner, Paul, and my son, Jonah, strengthening my rock climbing skills at Adventure Rock, or dancing with my Zumba friends. A few goals I’m working on are visiting every U.S. National Park, hiking the entire Ice Age Trail, and learning to play guitar.

Let's welcome our newest Broncos to the #BroncoFam! Starting with our new District Administrator, Mr. Thomas Johnson. I am very excited to join the incredible team at Union Grove Union High School. It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve the students, families and staff at UGUHS, and I look forward to strengthening the positive relationships I have cultivated within this great community. Through my collaborative leadership style, I will work diligently to build on the tradition and culture that has earned Union Grove Union High School its successful and positive reputation. I grew up in Stevens Point Wisconsin, moving to Kenosha to attend Carthage College. I began teaching at Washington Middle School in Kenosha Unified School District, eventually teaching at Bristol Elementary School and coaching varsity boys’ basketball at Westosha Central High School. In 2007 I was hired at Union Grove Elementary School as the assistant principal and two years later became the principal. My 16 years at UGES has been extremely rewarding and I hope to serve Raymond, Yorkville, Kansasville & Union Grove with the same drive and leadership. Blessed with two sons, Alexander and Marcus are both going into their junior year in college. My wife, Sara, and I live in Burlington with our two Labrador retrievers, Edward and Walter, and two cats, Mouse and Noodle.
