Ever wonder what happens at the school during the summer? Our custodial crew does a lot! They deep clean classrooms, clean the carpets, replace lights, wax the hall floors, and maintain equipment, playgrounds, grounds and more. This summer we're also getting new kitchen equipment and flooring, the second half of our HVAC upgrade, and new network wiring. We are thankful to have such a great custodial staff and for the district making all of this possible.
The UTAH PTA is celebrating 100 years! Highland PTA invites you to join this amazing program and add your voice to the PTA at our school.
