One of Drama Club's biggest missions is putting high-quality theatre in front of as many kids as possible! Today, Drama Club was thrilled to give all HES 5th graders the opportunity to see the first act of The Lightning Thief at Quincy Community Theatre!
We were especially excited to see current Drama Club member Quinton Miller on stage as Grover!
Quinton was double cast as Luke and Grover, demonstrating incredible adaptability and dedication as he learned and performed two very different roles.
We are so proud of what we witnessed on stage today and equally proud of how respectfully and enthusiastically our 5th graders represented Lewis County!

Last night the Highland Quiz Bowl Team ran into a highly competitive team from Clark County and the scores reflected it. The J.V. score was Clark County winning 180-100 and then Clark also winning the Varsity contest by the score of 480-80. our Team is determined to improve as we get more experienced and this is a stepping stone on the way there. Go Highland!
Good luck to a few from our Boys Wrestling Team as they wrestle at the District competition today and tomorrow in Higginsville!
Our 7th-grade science students are getting hands-on with genetics by extracting DNA from strawberries! During this exciting lab, they were able to see DNA up close and learn how genetic material is present in all living things.
It’s always amazing to watch science come to life in the classroom. Great work, scientists!
Thank you to everyone who came out for HES Olympics Family Fun Night. We are especially grateful for our Highland High School students who planned and ran activities for the evening.
Our 8th grade students modeled five types of fossils (trace, mold, cast, resin, and true form) during a hands-on lab. Great job exploring how fossils form and what they teach us about Earth’s history!

Our students aren’t just learning about civics — they’re practicing it.
Junior High students at Highland have identified real problems in the communities they belong to (school, teams, churches, neighborhoods, city, county) and are now taking civic action.
They are:
✔ Identifying civic leaders and organizations
✔ Defining their role in the community
✔ Sending letters and emails to invite leaders to interviews and panel discussions
✔ Creating real solutions to real community issues
This work will be showcased at our Civics Fair on March 26 at Highland High School. Parents and community members are invited to attend!
One 8th Grade student will earn a cash prize and may advance their project to the next level of competition.
This project is funded through a micro-grant from the Bill of Rights Institute, and students will also participate in National Civics Week (March 9–13).
We are proud of these young civic leaders!
