Today HHS School Counselors toured the new Collinsville Area Vocational Center set to open this fall. HHS sends students to CAVC for a variety of programs. This year 20 different HHS students participated in programs like Criminal Justice, CNA, Auto mechanics, Auto body, or Cosmetology.

HHS spring exams for grades 9-11 will take place May 18th-20th. Make up exams will be on May 21st.

Highland High School conducted a safety check and search today, and there were several different police units outside the building. No major concerns were found and school has resumed to the normal schedule. Thank you to everyone for keeping our schools safe.

Seniors: Reminder- Decision Day is next week. Get those photos sent to Mrs. Jackson now so they can be posted throughout the day on Tuesday!

Students built, designed, and taught their way to the stage at the Madison County CTE Showcase. Students placed 1st in carpentry, 2nd in ECE overall and 3rd in K-12 Education overall competitions.

Email agoodwin@highlandcusd5.org or call the HS office if your student would like to sign up for summer school.

With the help of Highland Optimist Club members, the Highland Junior Optimist club raised $138 to buy personal hygiene items to donate to the HACSM Food Pantry. A big thank you goes out to Highland Family Dentistry for adding to the donation by gifting toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss. Pictured are Rylee S., Eleanor L., and Dennis R.

Congratulations to last night's performers at the Coffeehouse Cabaret- you were incredible! And thanks to Mrs. Wesselmann for planning the event and to Scooter's Coffee for sponsoring the event.

We will have a PLC day on Wednesday, April 15th. Students will be released at 1:30 PM.

Come check out our talented students.

We wanted to send a quick message to let everyone know exactly what would be taking place tomorrow on testing day.

Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors will all have attendance days tomorrow for testing. We ask that all students get a good night's rest, have a healthy breakfast and come tomorrow ready to do their best. Testing should not be stressful, but should be taken seriously. Once testing is completed tomorrow, all students will be able to leave. Almost all students will have their testing completed around 1:00 PM. Students with accommodations may be longer.

The most important thing for all students to do is make sure CHROMEBOOKS are CHARGED. Please help your students remember to charge their Chromebooks tonight so they will be ready to go tomorrow.

Students need to bring charged Chromebooks and be on time- 7:30am- as they can not be admitted into test rooms after testing has started.

Seniors will have a college and career day. We hope that all seniors can see a school or job shadow.
