Since the early 1970s, hundreds of students have used brightly colored paint to leave their handprints on the walls of the student lounge. In fact, this rite of passage is now an official part of graduation week festivities and is preceded by the Senior Supper, a candlelit meal served by the faculty to students in the first floor hallway.
Agora Days--a four-day program usually held in the spring--is another one of the school's more recent traditions. Agora, which is Greek for "the market," involves more than 100 special-interest classes taught by students, parents, alumni and faculty instead of regular classes.
Big Show/Stud Prod-- A series of student produced plays that is presented every year in May.
Freshman Allerton Trip-- Beginning in 2006, the Freshman class take a three-day educational trip to Allerton in April. The purpose of the trip is to offer students an educational experience outside of school and provide opportunities for leadership development and class bonding.
Lunch Time Clubs-- Every day at Uni there are student run clubs during lunch. Examples of a club is community activism.
Spirit Week-- A week of school sponsored activities culminating in a school assembly in January.
