2-26-26 This evening the Highland Quiz Bowl Team took on a very talented squad from Palmyra. We were short handed tonight with 2 teammates out sick but we came out on top in the J.V. game 170 to 100. Highland started very quickly in the Varsity game and led at the half 130-50 but the veteran Palmyra Team came out of the gate fast in the second half and went on to win by the score of 270 to 220. It was one of our teams stronger efforts of the season. Go Highland!

One of Drama Club's biggest missions is putting high-quality theatre in front of as many kids as possible! Today, Drama Club was thrilled to give all HES 5th graders the opportunity to see the first act of The Lightning Thief at Quincy Community Theatre! We were especially excited to see current Drama Club member Quinton Miller on stage as Grover! Quinton was double cast as Luke and Grover, demonstrating incredible adaptability and dedication as he learned and performed two very different roles. We are so proud of what we witnessed on stage today and equally proud of how respectfully and enthusiastically our 5th graders represented Lewis County! #cougarsonstage #LightningThiefQCT
