Out of concern for the safety of our students and staff, the Highland School District will follow a tiered mask policy. According to the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement (ACHI), the HSD is in the ‘High Risk’ category. Following the Highland Mask Advisory, all students and staff are required to mask during school hours beginning Monday, August 16. The tiered mask policy allows the HSD to evaluate the risk category weekly. If the HSD should move into a lower risk category, masks will become optional/recommended. The Highland Mask Advisory Policy is linked here. Updated Highland Covid information can also be found on the District website linked here.
