Blue Sea of Blue Shirts

Students at the high school all congregated in wearing blue shirts on Friday, November 14th,  in honor of diabetes awareness. Times like this, when over 3,000 kids unite in one cause and attempting to be a positive influence in the community, makes me proud to be an Upper Darby student. Kids around this age between 14-19 rarely think about worldly problems such as diabetes, what it is and what it does to someone. I thought it was awesome that the entire school wore blue shirts to spread awareness to people who are not as informed as they'd like to be, and from that we all learned something; whether it was facts about diabetes, or wearing a blue shirt to join the movement, it was beautiful.

Upper Darby High School: The Student Perspective

"Upper Darby High School is unique. If you were to drive 15 minutes up the road you find a community that is completely different from ours. Our school is the only place where you can learn how to survive in a big, diverse world because that is exactly what we are. The opportunities you get here are a blessing with the many clubs and classes you can take. But let's not forget all the amazing teachers here who have definitely shaped the minds of many and impacted our lives for the better."

"I love the community of UDHS. When you meet the right teachers and students in the building, you're bound to have a great time everyday."

"I love all the classes that this school offers. With so many people, it provides different class opportunities and levels for all students."

"I love how most of the staff is friendly and willing to help you. Our school is diverse that you never feel left out about anything."

"The individual groups within in the school that share a common interest and strive for the best/reach their purpose."

"•The amount of diversity within our student body
•Vigorous honors/AP curriculum that rivals private high schools
•Gifted, hardworking music program
•Majority of students are funny, kind, and hardworking"

"All the high spirits everyone has, there's a certain energy in the school."

"Upper Darby is probably one of the only schools not in just delco but probably in the country you can see a new face everyday. It is so diverse and just a so well rounded school. We have so many good activities that go on throughout our school walls that no one would no about because of the one percent presenting us on the front page of the news paper."

"The diversity, I am an Upper Darby alumni and now at college I couldn't be more happy with my years at UD. Meeting some new college friends I finally got the chance to realize how judgmental some people can really be and I am proud to walk around and feel comfortable and welcoming to every culture."

"I would just like to say that I love Upper Darby and I could not imagine being anywhere else."

"I love this school and we deserve much better than we are portrayed."

Rotary Club Student Honorees

        Congratulations to three Upper Darby High School seniors; Iftekhar Rahman(left), Eric Guzy(middle), and Aasma Hossain(right) for being selected as the Upper Darby-Lansdowne Rotary Club's students of the month for November. On 11-12-14 the three seniors traveled to Drexelbrook to enjoy a wonderful lunch, introduce themselves to the current Rotarians, and tell more about who they are. They also met the student representatives from Penn Wood High School as well as Monsignor Bonner and Archbishop Prendergast.

        We personally would like to thank the Rotary club for all they contribute to our community, for without them this honor would not be able to have been presented to the students who really put there heart into service, and academics  at and around Upper Darby.

        Congratulations again students, and  we are anxious to report on next months honorees!
