The UHEF has sponsored an annual all-alumni picnic and car show at the end of September for many years. For those who came to the events it was fun seeing old friends and meeting some of the wonderful students who are at Uni today. Currently, however, Uni is under construction all over campus.

LAUSD has no way to disburse donated funds to an individual school. In 1985, the Uni High Education Foundation was established to […]
