I have loved attending Highland High school for the past 7 years of my education. The staff has been great and Highland has always done it best to give me opportunities.

I like my two friends that I have here and maybe two of my teachers. I like the cheer program and how I've won state three times. I would love to see the favoritism of athletes change. I wish this place could treat everyone equally and treat the cheer team better. We get no funding and they don't consider us a sport.

The best school in the county. The teachers won't leave anyone behind if they are willing to put in the time to get help.
