Dear Rock Star Families,


Highland continues to jam-packed learning and leadership the last four weeks of the school year. Highland teachers and staff wish to see your Hawks in the learning groove! Sometime SPRING throws curveballs, but let's keep the rhythm rolling and make sure the Hawks are busting moves in the classroom every day.


Remember, when the Hawks are present on the Highland campus, they rock their way to success! So, crank up the volume on those alarms, hit repeat on those morning routines, and let's make every school day a hit!


Need a little motivation to get the beat going? Check out the Highland "Attendance Groove" playlist to set the tone for the day:

  2. "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey
  3. "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves
