Today our UTMS students competed in the area Academic Super Bowl at LaPorte Middle School and made us incredibly proud! They brought home 1st place in Science, 1st in Social Studies, 1st in English, and 3rd in Math in their division. These outstanding results are a testament to their hard work, dedication, and teamwork.

A special night at the softball field as we honored the incredible educators who’ve made a lasting impact on our players’ lives!
Last week, each Bearcat invited a teacher who has shaped their journey to join us for Teacher Appreciation Night—and presented them with a jersey to proudly wear.
Tonight, our educators showed off their skills by throwing out the first pitch! We’re so grateful for the dedication, inspiration, and heart our educators bring every day. Thank you for being such an important part of our students’ lives—on and off the field. #BearcatPride
UTMS’s Academic Team met today at Barnes & Noble to prepare for this weekend’s Academic Super Bowl. I love their dedication as they get ready for the competition! Ms. Lucas was there helping them study and prepare.

This past weekend, UTMS hosted Bearcat Madness, an epic showdown between students and staff. You might be wondering why it's taken a few days to post—well… we teachers needed some time to recover 😉.
Bearcat Madness was an incredible event that showcased our talented students on the court and the amazing school spirit from everyone who came out to cheer. The game was a nail-biter, coming down to the final second, where the students took the win (staff got robbed, but I might be a little biased).
A huge shoutout to our students, families, and community for making this event so special! Check out the photos and highlights, and start getting ready for next year—because the staff is already planning a rematch!
And a special shoutout to Mrs. Eleftheri and the UTMS News Team for putting on such an incredible event! Your hard work and dedication made Bearcat Madness a night to remember!
Skip the cooking, support the Bearcats!
