School History
Returning to Newton after college and a year serving in Desert Storm, Mr. Rangel opened his first school in 1992 in the basement of a chicken hatchery on N. Main. After 10 years at this location, Mr. Rangel purchased a small building on 5th Street. This move proved beneficial and the school grow much more rapidly than expected thus requiring another move. McCall's Shoes on Main Street became for sale and Mr. Rangel purchased and renovated 1/2 of this building. This new location provided better visibility and again the school outgrew its space. The current location of UMA is at the Chisholm Trail Factory Outlet Mall where UMA is housed in a 10,000 square foot space in the mall. It is a great location just off I-35 with lots of parking and other shopping.
