Second Union Academy

Second Union Academy

The second Union Academy as it looks today, located on Elmwood Street in Union, was built in November 1903. It was built for the purpose to establish and maintain a school for the education of boys and girls and preparing them for college or the University.

The second Union Academy was closed in 1910 when a new Union High School was organized and built in Union.
