Union County High School is an American high school located in Lake Butler, Florida, whose history dates to the 1920s after the secession from Bradford County, when it was originally located as the Lake Butler Middle School. Before segregation ended, it was an all-white school and the now elementary school served the county's African-American population. It now serves secondary students within the Union County school district in grades 9-12. The school offers special curricula which include Honors courses, Advanced Placement, and Vo-Tech courses.

The school has been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools[2] since December 31, 1960.[3]
