Dear Highland Parent, Student, and Ram Supporter,

We are excited for this Holiday Season. Students have school on Monday and Tuesday of this week and then they will be on Thanksgiving Break. A Day students attend in class on Monday and online on Tuesday and B Day online on Monday and in class on Tuesday. 

For those looking ahead, dates for winter break are 12/21/20-1/1/21. A day students will be back in school and B Day students will have school remotely on Monday 1/4/21. 

Our Junior Civitan and Key Club have combined forces for our annual holiday season canned food drive. The students in these clubs, along with their advisors, have joined our community in working hard to provide the best holiday's possible for everyone. Please join forces with the efforts of our Junior Civitan and Key Club by dropping off donations of food items to Highland High School. Also, you can donate money online at https://idahofoodbank.org/junior-civitan/  Thank you for your support of all those in our community. We are proud of these clubs and their efforts to look outside themselves and provide service. All items need to be donated by 12/4/20.
