“The best education I received was
from Highland (then Calvert) because it gave me the idea that
learning was fun I want to return some of that gift by serving
on the Board…The best things about Highland are the sense
of excitement and energy that flows through the halls, the size
of the student body enabling everyone to know one another, and
the way in which faculty and staff genuinely care about their
students both academically and as persons.”
- Dr. Aileen Laing ’48 |
| “I stay at Highland because it would
be like leaving family…the best thing about Highland is
the faculty. It is a pleasure to be associated with a group
of professionals who care and love their job.” –
Karen Walton, Kindergarten Assistant, 12 years at Highland |

the school with the most class and excellent taste. Highland

academically, emotionally, and socially in their 2 ½
years at Highland. They have all learned to accept greater personal
responsibility for achieving success in academics and life generally.”
