After much thought and deliberation and after speaking to several stakeholders the decision has been made to cancel the 2026 Jerry Ball Relays due to having to reschedule and not being able to garner enough teams and entries on the rescheduled date. GO COUGARS!

Saturday morning April 18th the Highland Cougar Quiz Bowl Team traveled very early to Brookfield to participate in the District Level Competition where there were 7 teams assigned. The competition was fierce but we finished 4th out of the 7 teams and Evan Frieden was chosen to be on the all district team as a Freshman. It was a fun and rewarding way to end the season and our team thanks the community and school for your support.

Lewis County C-1 was well represented at the State FFA Convention! Manda & Cali were awarded the State FFA Degree, Isabella & Tegan served as voting delegates, La'Male was part of the State FFA Chorus and Claire, Alicia and Michaela rounded out the contingency.

Recently, members of the Highland History Club took a day to care for one of Lewis County's oldest cemeteries, Riverview Cemetery in La Grange. What started over a year ago while senior member Chris Gaus was laying wreaths for Wreaths Across America, was finally able to come to fruition. A headstone dated from 1816 that was in desperate need of some attention, caught our attention, and from there, the plan began. We were joined by Mrs. Susan Moore, who taught the students the proper method of cleaning headstones. We also were joined the mayor and administrator of La Grange, local media, Mrs. Peggy Steinbeck and Mr. Brad Davis. Students not only properly cleaned these headstones, but they learned the stories of the people. Some of Lewis Counties earliest and most prominent citizens have been laid to rest in this portion of the cemetery. Veterans of wars from the Revolutionary and Civil War, to both World Wars also have been laid to rest this cemetery. It was a wonderful sight to see the students taking such delight in this project. This is the History Clubs second cemetery cleaning. We hope this is just the beginning of great and lasting civics project!
