UB Club at Woodrow Wilson High School 

The Upward Bound Club was created to provide UB students at Wilson an opportunity to gather during selected lunch periods for UB purposes.  We meet before their Saturday classes, two Fridays a month during their lunch periods.  The UB staff also utilizes this time to discuss any UB affairs prior to their Saturday classes.
