Once scheduling is complete, a notification will be sent to families if and when we are able to consider schedule change requests for the 2026–2027 school year.

Every Highlander must be ready to learn! Parents and students must review and complete the Chromebook agreement before a device can be issued for the 2026–2027 school year.

Students are expected to bring their assigned Chromebook and charger to school each day, arrive with the device fully charged, protect their passwords, and immediately report any loss or damage.

Important: This year, we will be utilizing the Dallas ISD repair and replacement fee policy. Returning students who did not return their Chromebook at the end of the previous school year must pay the applicable replacement fee before receiving another device.

Join us for our Parent Athletics Meeting on Thursday, August 13, at 6:00 p.m. We will share important information about athletic expectations, schedules, required gear, and the upcoming season.

For the second consecutive year, all athletes and PE students will proudly represent Hill by wearing their official Hill gear during both Physical Education (PE) classes and Athletics. We will continue this tradition to strengthen team spirit, showcase our school pride, and maintain a unified look that sets Hill athletes apart.

Football, softball, and cross-country will begin Monday, August 17. Before participating, athletes must have all required forms completed and show a green status in Rank One. We will share the Rank One link and additional instructions on social media.
