University High School (Fresno)

University High School (colloquially, UHS) is a charter high school on the campus of California State University, Fresno in Fresno, California. The school emphasizes academics and music. UHS opened in 2000 and graduated its first seniors in 2004. At the end of the 2004-2005 school year, approximately 370 students were enrolled.

Prospective students must apply to UHS and are required to have completed basic algebra. They must have at least intermediate-level proficiency in instrumental or vocal music. The school accepts approximately 100 new freshmen per year. It is possible to transfer in as a sophomore, but this requires taking the first-year Latin and musicianship courses in summer school.

UHS students study, in addition to normal high school courses, two years of Latin and four years of musicianship, entailing musicology, music theory, audiation, and musical analysis. Because of its location on the CSUF campus, students also have the opportunity to take a limited amount of classes through the university for college credit, some of which UHS itself requires.

In 2006, Doctor James Bushman took over as Head of School

On October 5, 2007, Brandon Bennett left University High school for good, and a cloud left from over the school.
