CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT THROUGH COLLABORATION
Highland seeks to get better everyday. We have a school leadership team, a parent advisory group, and a student advisory group that all are tasked with providing feedback and joining in the work with helping Highland continually improve. The agenda and minutes from the meetings of each of these groups will be provided as a part of this newsletter in a link on the right hand side. We believe that working together we can improve.
