LEWIS CO. C-1 - Home of the Cougars

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays Cougar Nation! Enjoy the break and we'll see you in 2026. #WeAreHighland #GoCougars

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! We celebrated the holiday season with a singalong and plenty of togetherness at HES today!

Reminder that the LCC1 Board Election is this April & the final date/time to sign-up is Tuesday, December 30th from 3-5pm at the LCC1 Central Office. Three 3- year seats are up for election this April, which are currently held by Donna Reid, Michael Scoggin, and John Sparks.

Final from Highland- Cougs fall 30-62 to a tough Bowling Green squad. #GoCougars #WeAreHighland

Mrs. Geisendorfer's fifth graders did their best to design packages to keep their candy canes from breaking when they were dropped and slid across the floor.

Reminder- Tomorrow, Fri., 12/19/25, is a scheduled early release as we begin the holiday break. Happy holidays Cougar Country! #GoCougars #WeAreHighland
