GreatSchools Reviews
6/1/2012
Highlands is a school where parents and students are made very aware of the importance of a good education where challenging classes are offered and are highly encouraged to participate in those classes and extra curriculars.

I've had two sons graduate from this high school. Both are attending Centre College, one of the most prestigious colleges in the Country (search Forbes recent rating about Centre). Highlands prepared them well for the challenges presented to that at Centre.
