As a parent, I could not be happier with the experience our children and families have at Highland Elementary School. HES is truly a special place where teachers genuinely care about their students and go above and beyond to help every child feel supported, challenged, and successful. The teachers are dedicated, hardworking, and clearly invested in not only their students’ academic growth, but also in making school a place where kids are excited to come each day.The leadership at Highland is equally impressive. There is a clear commitment to creating a positive school culture, supporting teachers, engaging families, and continually looking for ways to make the school better for students. You can see that commitment throughout the building and in the many opportunities provided to our families.One of the things that really sets Highland apart is how active the school is outside of the regular school day. There are constantly events, activities, celebrations, and opportunities that bring students, staff, and families together. The amount of time and effort the staff puts into these events is incredible. They create memories for our children and help build a real sense of community and school pride.That commitment is also showing academically. Highland recently received its state assessment results, and students in grades 3 through 5 outperformed the region in both ELA and Math. Even more exciting is the substantial growth the school continues to make. It is great to see the hard work happening in classrooms translating into stronger student achievement.Highland Elementary is a school that takes academics seriously while still understanding that elementary school should be fun, engaging, welcoming, and memorable. As a parent, it is reassuring to know that our children are surrounded by educators and leaders who care deeply about them and are constantly working to give them the best possible elementary school experience.
