Madrigal Singers performed at Lebanon Victorian Days on Saturday. Nearly 200 people were on hand at one point following our students as they sang beautifully throughout the night.
ILMEA District Festival-students came prepared and performed a wonderful concert. Taylor Dressler earned the top scoring Alto I in our district and will audition to sing the National Anthem at the State level.
We are so proud of our HHS students who are making a difference in the community! FFA members, along with the Ag Construction and Technology classes, partnered with the non-profit organization Sleep in Heavenly Peace this week to construct 25 beds. The Metro-East SHP Branch volunteered their time this week to help students learn not only how to use a drill press, various tools, and woodworking, but also how to give back to their community.
We are glad to announce that due to this weeks efforts, kids in our area will no longer have to sleep on the floor. Stay tuned for some more exciting news next month as students continue to work with Sleep in Heavenly Peace!

Students from Highland High School participated at Mckendree University's Model United Nations. They represented the countries of: Belarus, Bosnia, Iran, Mozambique, and Poland. They were members of the Security Council, World Health Organization, 1st Disarmament, 6th Legal, Economic/Social, Science and Technology, Human Rights Council, and General Assembly.
225 Highland Bulldogs were lucky today 🍀! Crystal Krause & Ashley Rensing from Scott Credit Union presented the “CU 4 Reality Fair.”
Students were challenged to create a budget while choosing living accommodations, transportation, groceries, cellphone plans & temptations like salon services & gym memberships.
If students couldn’t meet their budget from their chosen careers they had part time job positions to choose from. What a FANTASTIC learning opportunity for HHS students!!
Students interested in learning more about a career in healthcare: please consider joining the St. Joe's Health Care Exploring Program. The kickoff meeting is Dec. 6th at 6pm at St. Joe's Hospital Highland. See your school counselors or school nurse for an application or additional info.
Good luck to our Highland Bulldogs as they take on Providence Catholic at 3:00 PM in a 5A quarterfinal matchup.
