This past week brought everyone together to countdown to winter break and celebrate all the hard work they have done this semester. Have a great winter break and happy holidays Highland Huskies!

Thursday was Comfy & Cozy day. It was also the staff winter potluck with food, music, dancing and plenty of laughter to go around.




Wishing you and yours a very special holiday season. Gentle reminder that RGSD is closed districtwide from December 23, 2024 through January 2, 2025. See you in the new year! #Ramily

Wacky Tacky Wednesday was a big hit! Today was all about embracing the wacky and the tacky - mismatched patterns, crazy socks, clothes inside out, Christmas decorations and anything that makes you say 'what on earth?!' 🎉





Day 2 of Winter Walk Down, Dress Up week and we are decked out in red, white, and blue to show off our Highland pride!


It's Winter Walk Down, Dress Up week at Highland! We kicked off the countdown to winter break by seeing double with Twin Day.
Thank you to all the families and community partners who attended the Winter Wonderland Party, hosted by the Office of Family Engagement! We had a great turnaround of parents and scholars! Santa and Mrs. Claus gave away lots of gifts and spread holiday cheer!


In November, Highland celebrated Veterans Day all month long with a display of those who served in the Armed Forces.
