My experience at the Highlands was one that prepared me for life after high school. I graduated freling more prepared than most peers my age that went to different schools due to all the leadership opportunities the Highlands had for students, as well as an extremely supportive community. The community aspect of the school is so strong that you feel as if you want to give back to the school because of how much the school has given you.
