Highland High School is a good public school. I believe if they could provide more clubs, ex) HOSA, DECA, MUN; this school would be better than it already is.
2/28/2025
I had a great experience at Highland High School. Highland High School offered many extracurriculars to the students. There was also community service offers to get you any work experience. I also liked how the school kept us safe whenever the school felt unsafe.
2/23/2025
My overall experience with high school is actually pretty good. I've been there for four years and haven't gotten into a fight once but I can't say that for the people around me. There are always fights like every week and it just get annoying because violence shouldn't be in America.

Most teachers just care about their paycheck and will push kids into depression and anxiety.
