Dress like a Minion or wear yellow and support the Bulldogs as they take on Waterloo at home.
With snow on the ground and the cold winds blowing here at HHS, let's use this week's "Throwback Thursday" to warm us up. Here's Ms. Mantz, member of the HHS special education department, picking roses in her grandmother's garden in sunny southern California.
Cheer on our Lady Bulldogs as they take on Waterloo at home- and wear your jersey!

Good Afternoon, Highland CUSD #5 Students and Families,
We are excited to welcome back students and staff on Wednesday, January 8, for the start of semester II. Highland teachers and staff participated in a Teacher Institute on Tuesday, and we fully expect to be in session on Wednesday morning. Currently, school parking lots and walkways are primarily clear across the district thanks to the efforts of our facilities team. Colder temperatures are expected tonight, and refreezing may present some slick areas tomorrow morning. Please use caution when walking, driving to school, and navigating our parking lots. Finally, the updated Highland CUSD #5 School Schedule begins tomorrow, so please plan accordingly regarding these changes.

Dress warmly, travel safely, and have a great start to the semester. We appreciate your continued support of Highland CUSD #5.
Educationally Yours,
Dr. Chris A. Becker
Assistant Superintendent

Greetings, Highland CUSD No. 5 Parents and Staff, I want to be definitive on the schedule for this week, but what I can communicate at this time without hesitation is that the Teacher's Institute scheduled for today was canceled and is scheduled for tomorrow (January 7, 2025). This means that the students will return to school on Wednesday, January 8. Our facilities team is hard at work to clear drives and walkways for tomorrow (Teacher's Institute). We anticipate some refreezing so please be careful to and from school and around the buildings and parking lots. Good luck digging out today and be careful!
Congratulations to the HHS Varsity Dance Team for their outstanding performance at the Edwardsville regional on Saturday. They placed 3rd in IHSA. In IDTA competition, lyrical and open Pom placed 2nd, and jazz earned 1st! Ava Fischer also earned the Rising Star award!🐾
It may be a great surprise, but the Teacher's Institute for tomorrow, Monday, January 6, will be postponed to Tuesday, January 7. Unless further notified, students will return to school on Wednesday, January 8th. Thanks, and enjoy the snow!
Superintendent, Mike Sutton
Happy New Year from HHS! We wish you all the best in 2025!
