Highland Community Schools would like to extend a heartfelt 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 for their commitment to investing in the communities they serve!

Through an exciting new partnership initiative, Upland Hills Health is giving back in meaningful ways, including generous financial support, supporting hands-on educational opportunities such as Youth Apprenticeships, and helping grow student-led healthcare organizations like HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America).

This week, we were honored to welcome Upland Hills Health CEO Dr. Mark Thompson and Highland alumnus JJ Linscheid to our campus to officially kick off this exciting partnership!

We are incredibly grateful for community partners who recognize the importance of investing in our students, creating pathways to future careers, and strengthening our rural communities.

Thank you, Upland Hills Health, for believing in our students and helping build a stronger future together! ❤️

November 9–14 is National School Psychology Week, and we are fortunate to have an incredible person filling this role in our district!

Mrs. Jackson's days are a fast-paced blend of testing, collaboration, and problem-solving alongside students and their families, our educators, and paraprofessionals. From navigating unexpected challenges to celebrating student successes, both big and small, she wears many hats and handles each one with dedication and compassion.

Her impact goes far beyond what a daily schedule can capture. She is an advocate, a problem-solver, a leader, and a steady source of support for so many in our district.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗠𝗿𝘀. 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗼𝗻, for being such an invaluable part of our school and for the countless ways you make a difference. We are so glad you're a Cardinal!

🩺 Paging all future doctors! First Grade Doctor Day was a BIG success! 🩻

Our first graders wrapped up their Human Body unit with a morning of hands-on discovery, learning, and pretend play at Highland Helpers Hospital! ❤️

With help from our wonderful health care volunteers, our Smarties:
🦠 Learned about germs with Nurse Sharon
🩺 Tested their steady hands playing Operation
🩻 Explored X-rays and discovered what lies beneath our skin
🦴 Worked together to build a life-sized skeleton
🧸 Cared for patients at their very own doll hospital
🎨 Used Play-Doh to create different body parts

From future surgeons to caring nurses, our first graders had a BLAST bringing their learning to life! A big thank-you to our amazing health care volunteers for helping make this experience so memorable! ❤️

Our Middle School Social Studies students adopted two veterans who will be participating in the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight on November 7!

Students created heartfelt cards for Mr. Schultz, a Vietnam War Army ordnance mechanic, and Mr. Shogren, a Vietnam War Air Force veteran who also serves as a chaplain. Their cards will be included in the Honor Flight’s special Mail Call, reminding these heroes how much their service and sacrifice mean to our community.

We are proud of our students for showing their gratitude and helping make this special day even more meaningful for two deserving veterans!
