Dear Highland Parent, Student, and Ram Supporter,

Congratulations to Payton Carter, a Junior at Highland. She made it to the final round, top 8 in the state, of auditions for the Idaho High School Theatre Awards. The top two students will be announced on June 9th and will get a paid trip to the Julliard Campus in New York. There they will get to work with industry professionals for a week, with the top two students from every other regional program in the country. At the end of the that week they will get to perform at the national theatre awards ceremony (Jimmy Awards). Great job Payton Carter!!!

Looking Ahead to Next School Year
As we begin closing out the 2022-2023 school year, we know that many of you are already
eager to hear updates about plans for next year. Highland’s administration has been meeting
regularly with district administration and investigation/insurance/restoration/city officials to
receive progress reports and determine a timeline for next steps. We appreciate everyone
working tirelessly at getting the school back up and running. While there continue to be many
unknowns and hurdles to overcome, we wanted to provide an update on some tentative plans
moving forward. Please contact Principal Wallace or the PCSD 25 administration with any
questions.

For a detailed update, please visit: https://highland.sd25.us/connect/fire-updates

Also, please review the article written by Superintendent Howell in the Idaho State Journal.

Junior class Immunization Reminder
In the spring of 2019, the State of Idaho legislature changed the required immunization for all students entering the 12th grade to the following:

1 dose is needed if - Student admitted to 12th grade during the 2023-2024 school year received their first dose of Meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccine at 16 years of age or older, or if the student never received a dose.

2 doses needed if – Student admitted to 12th grade during the 2023-2024 school year received their first dose of Meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccine before the age of 16.

Please check with your child’s doctor or other agencies regarding these required immunizations. 


Please fax updated immunization proofs to 208-237-1350 or email whitehel@sd25.us so we can update records and verify your student is in compliance with state requirements.
