Band & Choir

Faculty
Unity's faculty are G.O.A.Ts.They rock and roll all year, giving the students the freedom and opportunity to thrive. Due to the extreme lack of commen sense in the student body,the faculty thought that it would be a wise idea to have spirit days. These are sometimes dress up days and there are all kinds of days that bring joy to the students.
Paul's Gang
Unity has a student run organization known as Paul's Gang. Unlike other gangs, they are devoted to spreading kindness and joy to those around them, from their humble beginnings in the back of a math classroom, to the schoolwide presence they have become, their ideals remain unshifted. During a major attempt to further these ideals, they printed some 500 buissness cards and boldly distributed them to various locations around the school. In another venture, they donned beautiful t-shirts to support each other in their goal. Unforunately, their noble quest has not been without resistance. As Paul's gang rose, so too did the rival Allen's gang, who sought to undo all of the happiness brought about by their efforts. The most active member of Allen's gang, T.R., has put an end to many a smile in service of his gang. They are even suspected to be behind the baseless accusations of property destruction and letter stealing. During these trying times, members look to Paul, their glorious leader, who serves as a model and inspiration to all. A more complete descritption of the gang can be found on their website
