Our Highlander Athletic Department had a stellar week. Congratulations to our Girls Golf Team heading to State, on Saturday we had straight victories in Volleyball, Cross Country, Girls Soccer, and Football. Noah McMahon placed #1 in the Cross-Country meeting in Auburn.

As part of our expansion to IHS, due to the generous donation of the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation, we are undergoing a safety audit. Many upgrades such as: a single point entry, updated camera and PA systems, new radios, and new safety procedures are all being vetted by WCSD school police department, Safety Management Operations Manager and Capital Projects.
Please see below for other news and updates.
