Our fifth graders had a lot of fun with the HHS Environmental Club today!





Want to help Highland Elementary raise some money? You can do that by helping us recycle Swedish Fish packaging! We have added this to our already extensive list of recyclable items. Place a bag in a convenient location, fill it as you use these items and bring them to the office. It’s as simple as that! Helping the Earth and our school is a win-win situation!




Last week to clean out your closets and help Highland Elementary. Please deposit any unwanted textiles in the bins by the end of the day Friday. We appreciate your support!


Students in Mr. Sauls’s 4th grade class enjoyed a hands-on activity observing taproots, fibrous roots and lots and lots of worms!




I just wanted to send an update on this morning. Our power is back on and phones are working. Thank you for your patience.

Good morning,
Our campus is experiencing a power outage. At this time, our phones and email are temporarily unavailable. We will keep you updated. Classes are continuing as normal.
