Highlands School high school CTE class led the Kindergarten students in making their own pizzas last week-- one of the joys of having a K-12 school.




We hope that everyone is safe from the effects of Hurricane Helene.
Assessments are still underway of the damage and the resources available.
Administration is working with emergency personnel, the County Office, and others to make a decision regarding school on Monday.
As always, our top concern is the safety and well-being of students and staff both at school and getting to/from school.
We will update families and staff as we know more. Please continue to stay safe and follow all directions from emergency personnel.
-Mrs. Holbrooks and Mrs. DeBois
