Our 7th grade scientists recently rolled up their sleeves for a flower dissection lab! Students carefully examined flowers to identify and explore the reproductive structures, including petals, stamens, pistils, and more.
It’s always exciting to see curiosity bloom in the classroom!

Last night on 1-29-26 the Highland Quiz Bowl Team traveled to South Shelby where we won the J.V. match 200-100, immediately following that we picked up our 1st Varsity win by the score of 220-180. Hooray! This morning we traveled to Quincy to participate in the WGEM Academic Challenge where we took on a veteran squad from QND who won the match by the score of 400 to 140. The Kids had fun and it was a valuable learning experience for our very young team. Go Cougars!!!

Our high school EDU students have been hard at work planning February's Family Fun Night for HES. The theme is Winter Cougar Olympics with activities centered around reading, math, communication, and responsibility. Of course, the high school students had to practice some of the activities themselves.
Family Fun Night will be February 19th, 5:00 - 7:00 pm at HES. We hope to see you there!
