We are hosting DONUTS WITH GROWN-UPS this month for the classes of Strobbe, Saulnier, and McClure!
When: Friday, February 27
Where: HMS Cafeteria
Time: 8:00 am
- All students from these three classes can invite two grown-ups to attend
- All guests attending must check in to the HMS office and present a valid form of identification
Join us February 16–20 as we focus on spreading kindness, building each other up, and making HMS an even stronger and more positive place to learn and grow. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference — whether it’s encouraging a friend, helping a classmate, or simply sharing a smile.
We can’t wait to see everyone participating and spreading positivity throughout Highland Middle School! 💫
Attention graduating Rebels of 2026 and our Kindergarten Class!
Don’t forget — tomorrow night is PASS THE PRIDE during the home basketball games! Join us as we celebrate this special Highland tradition and bring together two important classes in our Rebel family.
It’s also Senior Night for our basketball and bowling Rebels, so come ready to cheer loud, show your support, and help us honor our seniors as they wrap up an incredible season.
We can’t wait to see you there! 🏀✨

As we return to our normal routine, we want to ensure that everyone continues to travel safely across the district, as there are still some challenges with snow on portions of our rural roads.

📌 Notice
Changes to routes may continue through the remainder of the week. We will keep you informed. As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to return to school safely.
We are so ready to welcome our staff and students back on campus, but there are still many rural roads across our district that are not safe for travel.
While we can’t wait to have everyone back, the safety of our students, staff, and families remains our top priority.
We’re hopeful that warmer temperatures tomorrow will bring plenty of melting and allow us to safely return to school soon.
The Highland School District will be closed on Monday, February 2, 2026.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. ❤️🤍🩶
It’s a snow day 😎❄️
No school tomorrow at Highland School District!
Friday - January 30
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!
The Highland School District will be closed on Thursday, January 29, 2026. We hope to see you soon, Rebels!
Dr. Lewis is having too much fun sledding around Rebel Nation, so he's calling for another snow day tomorrow! There will be no school on Wednesday, January 28, 2026!
In all honesty, road conditions across the district have not improved enough for us to return to school, but we hope you are enjoying the sunshine and snow! Stay safe and warm, Rebels!
