The 2023 Unatego High School Yearbooks have arrived! Distribution will be on Monday, August 14 from 12-2pm at the rear cafeteria door. If you are unable to pick up at this time, you can pick up your yearbook from Mrs. Maruszewski in the Student Services office Monday-Thursday from 8am-2pm with a break for lunch from 12-12:30pm. Please give her a call ahead of time to let her know that you are coming at 607-988-5097.

Unatego Central School District is pleased to announce that they will be providing basic supplies to all students in grades Pre-K through 12 again this school year.  With so many of our families struggling with inflation and a stagnant local economy, we are pleased to be able to provide supplies to all students at no cost to their families.  Students will still need to provide their own backpacks, sneakers for Physical Education classes, and smocks for art class at the elementary school.   All other basic supplies, including paper, pens and pencils, notebooks, etc. will be provided as needed once school begins on September 7.

 

Unatego will also continue to provide breakfast and lunch to all students, regardless of family income, at no cost to them or their families again for the 2023-2024 school year.   Research has consistently shown that students learn better after a nutritious meal and the program, started in 2018, has been a resounding success. We encourage our students to participate in the school lunch program and want to thank our cafeteria staff and management for making the free school breakfast and lunch program such a success!

 

 

We are pleased to announce the newest members of the Unatego Hall of Distinction. The Unatego Hall of Distinction honors graduates of Unatego, or from the previous districts of Unadilla Central and Otego Central, who have distinguished themselves through recognition, honor, and distinction during their lives.

This year’s class includes:

Chad Herring, PhD, a 2005 graduate of Unatego, currently serving as the Director of Sport Science at Florida Atlantic University and has had multiple articles published highlighting his research in sports science and exercise physiology.  

David Yearick, who graduated from Unatego in 1983, has made a name for himself as the inventor, marketer, and manufacturer of toys, and is currently the President of the Good Game Company.

Joe “Smoke” Hurlburt, a 1970 Unatego grad, has spent most of his life giving back to his community.  He has been an active member of the Otego Fire Department for over fifty years, including several stints as Chief, a member of the Town Board for 37 years, and a long-time youth sports volunteer.

These three award winners will be inducted in a public ceremony during the 2023-24 school year.  Congratulations to Dr. Herring, Mr. Yearick, and Chief Hurlburt!

The James Earl Award was established by the Unatego Board of Education to honor district employees who have given their time and efforts toward the betterment of our school district and students.   The award is named after longtime Board of Education President James Earl.  This year’s award winner is Kim Gascon, 3^rd grade teacher at the Unatego Elementary School.

Mrs. Gascon, who has been at Unatego for 30 years, received the award for her selfless devotion to the school and her students.  She is described by her colleagues as an educator who goes above and beyond for all students.  As President of the Unatego Elementary PTO, Mrs. Gascon spends countless hours after school to plan, prepare and organize activities.  She has been described as one of the most beloved classroom teachers every and is incredibly deserving of this year’s award.
