From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Union City Board of Education is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade in Union City, New Jersey, United States. The district is one of 31 Abbott Districts statewide.[1]
Woodrow Wilson School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive, during the 2004-05 school year[2]
Through the 2007-08 school year, the city is served by two public high schools, Emerson High School and Union Hill High School. Starting in September 2008 Union Hill and Emerson High Schools will merge into a single school to be called Union City High School in a building on the site of the former Roosevelt Stadium.[3]

"But today’s so-called Turkey Game signals the end of the tradition. Next fall, the two schools will merge in a new $176 million building.... The new Union City High School will take up four-and-a-half acres in the center of the city, squeezed between row houses and commercial strips. It will have a football field and bleachers built on the roof so that players will no longer have to share the facilities at José Martí Middle School."
