Congrats to the 2026 Highland Prom King and Queen Mr. Gavin Sayres and Miss Addy Abell.

Junior High students recently took a break from MAP testing to focus on something just as important, building a strong school community.
Through collaboration and meaningful discussions, students utilized durable skills like collaboration, communication, and critical thinking to work together in developing the core values that matter most to them. These values will help shape expectations and guide how we support one another every day.
It was inspiring to see our students engaged, thoughtful, and committed to creating a positive environment for all. Great work, everyone! #gocougars #portraitofacougar







Jr. High science students wrapped up MAP testing week with a hands-on STEM challenge!
Working collaboratively, students designed and built towers using only spaghetti and tape. Students put their problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills to the test. There were several creative and unique designs across the room, showing off both innovation and persistence.
The tallest tower of the day reached an impressive 112 cm! 👏 Great work to all of our students for thinking outside the box and finishing the week strong!
