A message from Mr. Sutton
Due to the string of extremely cold days, Highland CUSD No. 5 will not be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, January 16, 2024. We do expect school to be in session the rest of the week. Please consider the continued cold temperatures and be sure students dress appropriately for extreme conditions Wednesday through Friday. Thank you.
On Fridays, we recognize students who have true PRIDE. Keep up the great work Positive Pups!
