Highland high school is a great school but it's not the best. We lack resources that other schools do, and etc. Overall my time at highland has been in the middle I think we just need more things to do in are classes not a lot of hands on activities.

Overall I think Palmdale has amazing resources to prepare them for college or to prepare them for there futures after highschool but I believe this school needs to care about the safety and well being of the students so they are lacking this unfortunately.

I have been in this achool for 4 years and I'm apart of the Health Careers Academy and AVID. I have been in numerous clubs and have gone to a couple of sporting events. I have loved my experience at Plamdale High School, meeting new people, getting to know teachers that care about students, and finding a place where I belong in a community. Although, the students behaviors towards teachers and staffs have been a thing to frown upon, I feel like more respect should be given to faculties.

A student close to me (a freshman) reported that she was being bullied and threatened with physical bodily harm, and all the officials told her was that, if she did get jumped and she decided to defend herself, both parties would be suspended. THEY DID...

I have 2 sons that went to this school mainly for football. Every thing the children want to participate in cost hundreds of dollars. They had teachers that didn't seem to want to help the children learn. The football coach Williams talked really bad about the boys on the team to scouts that wanted...
