The Academy takes students from all over the United Independent School District's middle schools and prepares them for college throughout their high school classes.

[edit] Standardized Dress

Starting in the 2007-2008 school year, students are required to follow standardized dress code provided by the district [1].

Carolina blue is United South's designated extra shirt color choice.

The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform [2]; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.
