We are proud to share a special moment from our Junior High Student Council! Today, they presented their first-ever Appreciation Award to Roger Parrish in recognition of his hard work and dedication in and around Highland High School.
This award was made possible through the generous support of everyone who supported the Junior High Student Council fundraising efforts. Thank you for helping our students recognize the people who make a difference in our school community every day!
Please join us in congratulating Roger and celebrating our student leaders for their thoughtfulness and teamwork. #cougarpride #gocougars #jhstuco

Kudos to Evan and Logan Frieden, AKA: THE Highland Quiz Bowl Team at last night's match against Knox County. Our Cougar team of two took on the State Qualifying Varsity Team from Knox (17 students) all by themselves. They did not win the Varsity match; however, our 2 Freshman did bring home the Win by a large margin of victory against the Knox County JV team. Way to #GoCougars!
