UAS Welcomes Students Back for the First Day of School

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2026: The halls of Utica Academy of Science were filled with excitement, smiles, and new beginnings as students returned for the first day of school. From kindergarten classrooms to the junior-senior high school, students were welcomed by teachers and staff who are ready to make the 2026–2027 school year a successful and memorable one.

Throughout the day, students reunited with friends, met new classmates, and settled into their classrooms as they learned about the opportunities that await them this year. Teachers introduced engaging lessons, reviewed classroom expectations, and helped students feel comfortable and prepared for the journey ahead.

The first day of school marks the beginning of another year of academic growth, exploration, and achievement at Utica Academy of Science. With a strong focus on STEM education, character development, and college and career readiness, students are encouraged to dream big and work hard toward their goals.

We extend our gratitude to our families, staff, and community members for their continued support and partnership. Together, we are building a positive and inspiring learning environment where every student can thrive.

Welcome back, UAS family! We look forward to an outstanding school year.
