Attention 6th grade students:

Happy FRYSC week to our very own, Mrs. Sheila Knipp-Ratliff! Sheila is an amazing FRYSC Director; always quick to lend a hand to anyone in need, whether it's for classroom supplies or socks! She truly has the best heart and we are so fortunate to have her at Highland Elementary.

School will also be closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Rest up, Golden Eagles, and come back ready to soar.

We are so proud of this small but mighty group of students! 💙

By working together and putting their Leader in Me habits into action, these students collaborated, problem-solved, and took initiative to put together a table for our FRYSC. Their teamwork, responsibility, and desire to serve others truly reflect what it means to be leaders at Highland Elementary.
