I personally encourage all elementary and high school students to wear their Highland brown and gold tomorrow in support of our girls basketball team! I also encourage everyone to come to Hannibal tomorrow night to cheer them on in their quest to move on to quarterfinals! This has been a hard fought victory for everyone and the girls deserve everyone's support! GO COUGARS!!

Don’t be scared! There’s still one more opportunity to catch Bunnies the Musical!
We are excited for you to join us for our final performance! The lobby doors open at 1:30 PM. Tickets for this performance are sold out so we will not be selling tickets at the door.
While you wait, take some time to enjoy beautiful downtown Canton — stop by a local shop, grab a sweet treat at Cupcake & Co. or enjoy lunch at one of the amazing restaurants nearby. We love seeing our Cougar families support the wonderful businesses in our community!
We can’t wait to see you there for one last hop down the bunny trail!
