About Us

Vision

At Highland we are building a community characterized by empathy, compassion, and respect, where all students’ cultures, languages, and experiences are honored. Students are learning to regulate their emotions and behavior, follow expectations, resolve conflicts, and problem solve–what is known at Highland as “handling your business.” Highland learners are achieving grade-level academic proficiency, exhibiting a growth mindset, learning to advocate for themselves, exhibiting curiosity, and cultivating dreams for future success in college and/or career.

Mission

At Highland we implement core curriculum with fidelity and integrity in order to support students to achieve grade-level proficiency. Our approach to teaching students new academic content and social-emotional skills includes: explicit instruction, adult modeling of desired skills and behaviors, regular positive feedback to students, and celebrations of learning and growth.
