Greetings, HHS Faculty, Students, and Families,
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year at Highland High School! The Bulldogs are a source of pride for us all, and we look forward to the fantastic things we will accomplish together this year. Our administrators, faculty, and staff are thrilled to see everyone on the first day, Wednesday, August 16. Together, we will work as partners in education to ensure a positive, meaningful, and impactful school year for all.
Our faculty and staff are excited to collaborate with you and your student this year. We are grateful for the ongoing support of parents and guardians accompanying us on this important journey. HHS faculty and staff are dedicated, skilled, and passionate about teaching and learning. They care about students and go beyond the call to positively impact the lives of young people. Feel free to click HHS Admin or HHS Faculty & Staff to learn more about our talented team of educators and support staff.
At HHS, we hold ourselves to high standards for teaching and learning. We aim to equip students with the skills they need to succeed, whether they plan to attend college, trade school, the military, or pursue a career path. Our staff are committed to preparing students for success not just during high school, but also in their future endeavors.
Students are typically more successful when participating in school clubs, athletics, and activities, so encourage them to get involved at HHS. There is something for everyone. Each day, we all work to create a positive school culture where we are respectful and kind to others, take pride and ownership in our school and community, and strive to be the best.
We believe in effective communication at HHS, and the information found in this letter shares key details about the start of the school year and beyond. As always, please contact us at 618-654-7131 or via email with questions, concerns, or feedback. See you in a few weeks!
