8th Grade S.T.E.M. learned about how engineers design buildings to be earthquake-resistant. Then they created their own earthquake-resistant structures with marshmallows and toothpicks and tested them out with Jello and a shaker table.

We want to give a very special thank you to Highland alum, Greg Logsdon.
After our softball team won the 2024 State Championship, Greg reached out and generously covered the entire cost of our state championship rings for every coach & player. His gift made it possible for our athletes to have a lasting reminder of their hard work, dedication, and success.
Thank you, Greg, for your generosity, your pride in our community, and for continuing to be a role model of what it means to be a proud Highland alum.
