Dear Highland Parent, Student, and Ram Supporter,

Welcome Back to School! We hope everyone had a safe and restful winter break.

We wanted to recognize Dominic McRoberts who recently competed in and finished 3^rd in the East Idaho Strongest Man/Woman Competition in the middle weight men’s open class. This was his 1^st ever strongman competition. His 3^rd place finish qualified him for Nationals on June 27^th in Minneapolis, MN. Congratulations to Dominic McRoberts and best of luck at Nationals! A chance to help Dominic fundraise for nationals will be available within the next week. Please contact Coach Cade Ackley if you want to help via email at ackleyca@sd25.us

Also, we wanted to recognize Mrs. Debra Greco. Mrs. Greco is an English/Speech/Journalism Teacher, Yearbook Advisor, Web Designer, and part of the Building Leadership Team at Highland High School. Recently she was appointed the chair to the Achievement Awards in Writing Advisory Committee for the National Council of Teachers of English. The National Council Teachers of English has over 25,000 members. We are so proud of Mrs. Greco and her accomplishments, being recognized nationally for her leadership and her professional impact.

The school food service cash register has been moved from the end to the beginning of the food line. This change means that a student will not be allowed to go through the food line if they have fees. Please make note of this change and make sure that all food service fees are paid.
