===============================================
Dear Highland Students & Families,
Don’t let snow in April fool you – spring is here and so is all the excitement that the end of the school year brings. Heads up for the items below.
Senior Celebration – Woo Hoo !
Formerly known as the Senior Assembly, Highland’s version is much more celebratory and a lot less boring. Families, friends, supporters, and the school community will gather to honor and recognize all our graduating seniors, late morning, Friday, May 13th. Seniors will wear their caps and gowns and regalia or identifiers (leis, Native regalia, family heirlooms) that may not be permitted on graduation day. Bonus upon bonus that morning: students may sit with their friends (not the case on graduation day); afterward, students will receive their yearbooks and can enjoy them in each others’ company; and there will be a gathering in the small gym afterward, light refreshments, for graduates, families, and friends. Senior Celebration will recognize and honor all our graduates for whatever their immediate futures may hold.
We haven’t been able to do this since 2019, so please mark calendars and plan to join us on Friday, May 13th, 11:15 am, in the big gym.
Idaho Opportunity Scholarship
Seniors, if you applied to the Idaho Opportunity Scholarship, please be checking your personal email regularly. If you are offered this scholarship, you need to respond and accept it lickety split. Failure to watch and respond could mean losing thousands of dollars over the course of college and training.
Bengal Bridge
Are you headed to college or training in the fall? Consider enrolling in Bengal Bridge at ISU this summer. It is a compressed semester in 7 weeks, students can take up 9 or 10 credits at a great price, live on or off campus, and make a soft landing to the college experience. The course offerings are introductory-level classes that should transfer to any college or training program, and will help you make a smooth transition to college whether you plan to attend a 4-year college or 2-year career/technical program. Ask the college career advisors for more information. OR go to https://www.isu.edu/bengalbridge/ -- the link to apply is right at the top of that webpage.
Your friendly neighborhood college career advisors,
Carly Phillips
