Highland High School

Great parent involvement, supportive administration and focused faculty and departments. I currently have two children attending Highland and one that graduated two years ago. We have experienced much of what Highland has to offer from sports to music to clubs as well as their focus on academic success. The school is focused on leading the district and being a pioneer in technology. This is a large school and the school population represents the school boundaries with a good mix of different sized homes in different subdivisions. The school has very active boosters supporting over 16 clubs/sports/organizations and it creates an environment where students have opportunities to participate and succeed. I highly recommend Highland High School!

I went to and graduated from Highland and it is a great school. There are many opportunities to get involved at the school from comunity service clubs, NHS, student council to Choir, Orchestra, and band. I never once felt excluded in any way shape or form at this school. The staff are always willing to help when it is needed. Yes, there are cliques, but what school doesn't have them?

One cannot take away from HHS the strong academic programs it provides. However, when it comes to athletics the coaches have their favorites and often do not look outside the box. It is to the point that politics overrides its strong academics as it does not provide those who have potential for sports scholarships to go unrecognized because of the athletic favorites. In fact, the varsity team is already selected from the incoming freshman students who played junior high ball-regardless of their skills. Athletic favorites start with coaches who coach league teams as well as being high school coaches.

The cliques are ridiculous at the school. Separated by religion and/or race. Nearly impossible to make new friends unless the same racial or religious background is shared. The teachers are excellent for the most part. There are a couple religiously zealot teachers. One of whom uses passive aggressiveness to bully students and excessively uses stereotypes although administration won't do anything about that. The extracurricular activities revolve around cliques too. Holding an officer position in clubs is based on a vote by students (popularity vote) and the NHS club excludes students with the same credentials as other students. The school is consisted of mostly LDS students and teachers and most of them are Republican who aren't afraid to show it.

Highland is a great school. The teachers and staff are great to help students. This School knows what it is doing and it will help you child, brother, sister, or someone who you know looking for a great high school. Some of highland qualities are they are organized, they are good at what they do other than teaching, They WIll prepare you for the next thing that comes up when it comes to school and even things that do not pertain to school. I highley reccomend going to this school.

I am a student at Highland High School and I have to say you should not be asking the parents what the scool is like. It is a great school because any class you want the have my interest was photography. The bad thing is some teachers need to be replaced because they feel it's all about there class. Second there is to many sudent in each class for any student that needs help with a class it's hard to find time. A good thing is there sports they have every sport you could want to play. Overall it's a good school that still needs work!

this school needs to work on things that are important like making sure the students are passing, and helping them after school when they are struggling.
