Being a Blue: Student Life

There are a lot of ways to be an Urban student! For some it means serious athletic participation; for others, it includes arts or performance, student government, outdoor and global trips, or all of these combined. For all Urban students, it means a serious commitment to the school’s mission of igniting a passion for learning.

In addition to Urban School's outstanding academic offerings (160 courses annually!), student life is abundant with more than 40 clubs, affinity and ally spaces for all, weekly all-school meetings, dances and the spring all-student Prom (not just Juniors and Seniors), pep rallies and pizza at the annual basketball doubleheader or Friday Night Lights soccer games, and more!

There is no one way to be an Urban student, but all of us are Urban Blues! Scroll down and see how you can be a Blue.
