As we switch our gears to celebrating holiday cheer with our families during winter break, let us

not forget the importance of positioning ourselves and our students for the new year. Daily class

attendance will assist our students in the necessary preparation for a successful school year and create a stellar profile of excellence in implicit behavior cognition for our college submissions.


We are committed to our students' attendance and remain available to assist. Unexpected medical emergencies can and will happen, especially during this time of the year. Students are staying home to combat the spreading of sickness. We want everyone to be their best, so please reach out to your school site and sign up for a Saturday School offering for those who need it to make up work, get caught up, or just like to work ahead in your classes. The best gift to give is education, and we encourage everyone to partake in the season with the readiness to attend to learn.


Adult Education Celebrates the Holidays

Adult Education students and their children participated in a successful holiday open house. Elves from four different high schools volunteered to assist as well as the Adult Education staff.

Guests enjoyed cookies, and hot chocolate, the kids got to meet Santa and were given a sticker/candy cane from Mrs. Clause & Santa, then they got to do a craft with their parents/elves.


Highland High School’s All-American, Matt Donis!

Matt is only the 6th HHS student ever to earn this honor. A big shout out to Matt and his coaches for the hard work and efforts to earn the right to be an All-American!
