Welcome to the Middle School

The Middle School provides a supportive program designed to meet the unique needs of the middle school child. Highland recognizes the importance of educating the whole child and addressing the emotional, social, and developmental needs of students. We are also cognizant of the diverse talents of our students and strive to develop those talents in an academically challenging and socially responsible environment. In Middle School, students grow academically in a nurturing environment that features a low teacher-to-student ratio; explore non-academic talents through special area classes such as studio art, chorus, and computer; participate in class plays; and are encouraged to develop leadership skills through community service, student government, and team sports. As well as using best practices for teaching language arts, social studies, world languages, science, and math, teachers support and challenge Middle School students to care about their success and discover their unique abilities. Highland's Middle School nurtures students' curiosity, fosters moral and ethical responsibility, and strives to help children discover their own potential.
