For the 2014-15 term, Highland got a new principal. He is incredibly driven and strives to make connections with students, supporting them however possible. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he makes it clear he truly cares about students. While there are surely some teachers who are lacking that same enthusiasm, there are some stellar teachers who work endlessly to educate their students. Highland presents a welcoming environment, filled with diversity. I was hesitant to start attending the school last year, having heard about a negative reputation. I was pleasantly surprised. As a sophomore moving into my second semester, I am faced with nothing but future opportunities, encouragement, and guidance as I move forward. Thank you, Highland, for letting me grow as a person.

The school has made a huge turnaround since the last comment was posted. In the last few years a new principal has come in that is extremely data focused. I see her message replicated in the teachers now. Students are making huge improvements in academics. Genius Hour is the most fun my child has ever had and she enjoys picking her new classes every few months. The teachers all seem very qualified or almost over qualified for their jobs. The school just has such a creative, caring and welcoming staff. I am super sad we will start online because I have been looking forward to seeing them all and enjoying the wonderful opportunities afforded to my child.

Don’t call back or communicate with parents. Suspend victim child of fights and no leader ship skills what so ever. School NEEDS to be shut down or all new staff…
