Dear Parent/Guardian, Student, and Highland Ram Supporter,
Parents & senior students are invited to the 'How To Pay For College' Night put on by the College and Career Advisors at HHS this evening (9/24/18) starting at 6:30pm in the Highland Media Center. We will focus on answering the question of 'how to pay for college' by having various representatives from Idaho State University speak about options for incoming college students. Departments include Financial Aid, Scholarship Office, College of Tech Recruiter, ISU Recruiter, Bengal Bridge Summer Program. This event will be held in the Highland High School Library at 6:30 pm. Pizza will be served!
*Must be 18 years of age or older with a valid driver's license and valid automobile insurance. Donation of $20 per valid test drive, up to 300 total test-drives, for a maximum total donation of $6,000 per event. Limit one (1) donation per person.
Thank you for your
continued support.
Please do not hesitate to contact school administration for questions, concerns, or frustrations. We can think, be, and learn more as we work together to continually improve.
Go Highland Rams!

News and information from the Counselors and
College and Career Advisors
In light of things going on
in the world, School District 25 has opted to take a forward thinking approach
to protect our students and staff members from sexual harassment. Several TAs
throughout the year will focus on topics related to this subject in order to
educate students regarding their rights and roles concerning this (where to report, how to handle
the situation and get themselves in a safe environment if things are occurring
etc.). We recognize that some of these issues may feel uncomfortable, because
this is an uncomfortable subject. However, the district’s proactive stance is
that we feel it necessary to help empower our students to move forward into
creating and maintaining a safe learning environment for all students and staff
members.
·
12th Grade --this is your year.
We know there’s still so much to do, but this is the year it all
pays off. Stay focused on finalizing your personal list of colleges or training
programs. Ask for letters of recommendation. Explore your financial aid
options. And make sure to visit different schools to see which feel right for
you. After you’ve applied, be sure to put in the time to tackle the FAFSA and
any other financial aid you need. It’s time consuming, but totally worth it.
Soon enough, you’ll have an exciting decision to make about what’s next.
In September, you
and your parents will be receiving nearly identical letters that will tell you
(and your parents) which Idaho colleges and/or universities have pre-accepted
you based on your grades and SAT/ACT scores.
