"The mission of Highland High School is to pursue excellence in the development of responsible life-long learners by working with the entire community to provide optimum educational experiences in a safe learning environment with opportunities for growth." To Our Parents and Students, Many guidance services are made available to the students and their parents. These services are designed to meet the student's needs and to provide him or her with the necessary information to make decisions in high school. Students have an opportunity to become acquainted with counselors during the registration process which begins in February of 8th grade year. Students are helped to select courses for high school. This registration process continues throughout high school with students and parents being kept up to date on credits and what is necessary in the future to satisfy graduation requirements and meet post secondary plans. Highland High counselors are trained and experienced in helping students with critical issues facing adolescents, academic guidance and career counseling. The purpose of this web site is to help you choose the right courses to give you the strongest preparation possible for the program you want to enter after high school. It is meant to be a guide for planning and should not take the place of regular discussions with your counselor. Almost 90% of Highland High students further their education after graduation. The other 10% enter the military and the job market. Whether your goal is to further your education or to get a job, this web site can help you be prepared. The creation of this web site was funded through a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education's Education to Careers program(http://www.isbe.state.il.us/etc/). Sincerely, Barb Heyen Director of Guidance
