School Notes
- Union Bible Academy was established in 1861 as Union High Academy. We are the oldest continuously operating high school in Indiana. Quaker settlers, who had moved from Westfield, North Carolina, started Union High Academy to educate their young people both academically and spiritually. The goal both then and now is to equip students for life by giving them an education based on the principles of God's Holy Word.
