Sports

In the 2011–12 season, the American football and girls' basketball teams won their third consecutive MOAC titles. The football team advanced to the OHSAA playoffs for the third consecutive year and the girls' basketball team advanced to the District Finals.[2]

In July 2017, North Union announced they would leave the MOAC to join the Central Buckeye Conference, possibly as early as 2018.[3]

During the 2019–20 high school basketball season, North Union completed a perfect 21–0 regular season. The Wildcats entered the OHSAA state tournament as the No. 3 seed in the Division III Central District with a chance to win their first district title since 1970.
