Due to a sewer line issue at the high school, Highland will be closed today and school will operate under an AMI day. The HS band trip to QU for “Clarinet Days” will still leave at 8am as scheduled, but students and staff will not be allowed in the building. Votech students will also still attend Hannibal and catch the bus at School (11am) or the 18 wheeler (11:15am) as planned. All students should either work on their paper & pencil packets as previously provided by their teachers, check their Google Classrooms, or check their school email for assignments from their teachers. Basketball games will be moved to another location with specific details to be announced later today. For a reminder on what AMI is and how it works read the following: http://bit.ly/306MXOX
