When summer school ends, the football team and the marching band begin to practice.

This is what High- land students are trying to get across when they say, “We’re proud of our school !” WEATHER PERMITTING, THE main court serves as the pleasant site for student dances while providing a relaxing at- 5 mosphere. IN ANY SEASON, any weather, the center court at Highland High presents a tranquil scene, emphasizing the beauty of our modern school.
