We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

When I first went to Highland high school it was a good school with great education and food. Now that I'm a senior in highschool the school has gone down in quality.

Highland is a very small, community based school in rural Ault Colorado. While the size of the school isn't large, it is not small in the opportunities and activities it offers. Organizations like FFA, Future Business Leaders of America, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes are only a few of the amazing programs that Highland offers to all of its students.
