There are still many items in our Lost & Found following last week’s Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Mr. Bryan, our custodian, will have tables set up under the awning on Wednesday, March 25 (during Spring Break) for families to stop by and look through the remaining clothing items.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and see if anything belongs to your student.

Highland School District administration was alerted to a potential threat early this evening. The school SRO was immediately notified, who verified the threat to be non-credible. Appropriate action has been taken in this matter.
These threats, whether made in person or online, are taken very seriously and are always thoroughly investigated. They will follow procedures and laws according to the state of Arkansas. The top priority of the Highland School District is to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We always encourage you to notify authorities if you see or hear of something suspicious- let’s work together to keep our school safe.
