HHS December 12-17, 2016 Letter from Administration
Dear Parent/Guardian, Student, and Highland Ram Supporter,
During this holiday season it has been inspiring to watch the talents of our students develop and be used to benefit others. Working with Pocatello High School, before Thanksgiving, they donated enough food to give to 5 organizations and to fill our school pantry. This month the students organized an effort to provide holiday gifts meeting the needs of families in the community. Our students academic achievements are also incredible. Just this week a student at Highland was recognized as a National Hispanic Student of Excellence, within the top 2.5% in the nation by the College Board. Our broadcasting students began streaming different events live on our RAMTV channel. They are also working on our website and our social media pages. This weekend our Highland Lassies dance team competed and took first in all 5 dances. Our cheerleaders are constantly impressive performing at our assemblies and games. At the beginning of this month we sent students to the state drama competition. This hasn't been done for some time. Our choir and band perform their Holiday concerts this week. Last week we were able to hear our orchestra students perform. In athletics, Highland continues the winter seasons in boys and girls basketball and boys wrestling. Beyond this, numerous clubs are at work.
Everywhere we turn students are involved in and out of school with activities that are developing their talents and benefiting others. It is exciting and humbling to witness such amazing people do so many amazing things. We get to share in their ups and downs, their accomplishments and failures. We are grateful for this amazing gift. It opens our eyes, fills us with hope, and inspires us to do better and be better. We love our students at Highland High School. They truly are excellent!
Happy Holidays from Highland High School Administration!

Highland School Song's
Highland Fight Song
It’s for Highland we are fighting,
It’s for colors black and white,
As our Ram goes out for us
We will fight with all our might.
As our team brings in the victory
On the field or in the gym,
Highland’s teams will be victorious
And the trophies will come in.
It’s for victory, honor, valor
And the prize we run the test,
As our school up on the hill will
Always be far past the rest.
And the victories we take humbly,
Losing comes without regret,
And we do all these things gladly
For our Highlands best school yet!
Ram Power
When you say Rams
You’ve said a lot of things
Nobody else can say
When you say Rams
You’ve said you care enough to only
Want the best (of teams)
There is no other one
There’s only something less
Because the Highland Rams
Are beating all the rest
When you say RAM POWER…
You’ve said it all!
Loyalty
Highland we’re loyal to you
Highland we’ll stand beside you
To the black and white we’re true
Highland we are true
First place a victory best place
Our Rams will show the best taste
Victory is ours forever
Ours for Highland High.
Highland up on the hill our
Highland and Rams are best still
We are the students always
Loyal and true.
(and as for)* learning and honest labor
Our Rams will stand the measure
The best in all the land
We know is Highland High
