Greetings, Highland CUSD No. 5 Students, Teachers, and Families,
We are excited to celebrate the graduation of the Class of 2026 on Friday, May 15, at 7:30 PM at the HHS stadium.
Our hope is that the weather will cooperate on Friday night, but if necessary, the ceremony will move to the HHS gym at 7:30 PM. We will move indoors only if severe weather occurs, and official changes will be shared via email, text, and social media with stakeholders as soon as possible. Again, we intend to remain outdoors for the event if at all possible.
For those unable to attend graduation in person, Friday's ceremony will be live-streamed at the following link: https://youtube.com/live/_-TgFQoy_0M?feature=share.
Stadium gates will open at 5:30 PM, and the ceremony will begin promptly at 7:30 PM. We ask all attendees to follow the signs and instructions for the ceremony. Handicap seating will be provided wherever possible in the track area and other locations, but it is limited.
There will be a drop-off line at the front of the stadium for entry, and a golf cart will be available to transport those who need assistance getting to the stadium, including those unable to park close enough or in the handicap spots.
Thank you for your patience, kindness, and understanding during this capstone event for our seniors. We will do our best to accommodate all who attend, as we expect a capacity crowd. It's going to be an amazing night of celebration.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday night at 7:30 PM to celebrate the Class of 2026!

We ❤️ our PTO! They provided us with a lot of fun today at the Bulldog Bolt.
We had a great Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to our fabulous PTO for spoiling us! Highland Elementary staff is the best and we are so thankful for each and every one of them!
Our Girls on the Run had so much fun participating in the Color Run yesterday! They are ready for the St. Louis 5k tomorrow.

Happy National School Nurses' Day to Nurse Briana! Thanks for joining our team.
As we celebrate Staff and Teacher Appreciation Week, we are so very grateful for all of our Highland CUSD No. 5 employees.
Our team is committed to making our organization the best it can be for students, staff, and the community. It's tough work, but essential for the future.
Thank you for your passion, energy, and dedication to our schools and all that you do each day. You make a difference.
If you see one of our staff this week, be sure to say hello, send them a kind email, or share a smile and say thank you. They deserve it and appreciate the support in a day and age when working in a school takes heart and soul.
Our Girls on the Run teams took our donations to the Humane Society today. They were very grateful to receive the supplies. The girls did a great job running there and are showing that they are ready for our Color Run on Tuesday.
