    The Highlands School Reviews

    The Highlands school is a faith filled, family friendly, and high academic school seeking to educate and encourage it’s students. What makes The Highlands great is the family environment that welcomes you in with open arms. This school has taught me that even through the toughest times there are people who love, support, and pray for you. My favorite event of the school year is homecoming week. The entire week is filled with fun activities like the annual dodgeball game to the yearly football and volleyball powder puff games between the juniors and seniors, ending with the biggest football game of the year. The Highlands School is an amazing school for your child to attend!

    I love this school. I've grown so much during my time here in the areas of faith, intellect, and service. The teachers here genuinely care about you as a person. They have changed my perspective on learning for the better and have inspired me to continue to pursue truth and wisdom in college and beyond. I've developed friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. I also love the emphasis THS places on faith; my love for Christ has grown tremendously these past four years. Though some students here may not take their education or faith too seriously, this school really does put a lot of effort in forming every student in character and mind. Overall, my experience at THS has changed my life for the better and I don't regret a thing!
    As an alum, I have all the confidence in the world that the students who attend the Highlands are transformed in better students, athletes, musicians, friends, and people. The school offers a wide range of clubs and activities that anyone can participate in if they are dedicated and self disciplined. This place teaches its students to pursue the truth in their academics, reach out to others in their community through mission trips and service projects, and become better everyday through the constant support of the faculty, the other students, and our Lord’s graces.
