This summer, we’re building stronger, faster, and more competitive Huskies!

Our student-athletes will have the opportunity to improve:
✅ Strength
✅ Speed & Agility
✅ Conditioning
✅ Leadership & Teamwork

A HUGE thank you to the Highland Huskies Boosters for their incredible support in helping make this newly designed Strength & Speed position possible. Your commitment to our student-athletes and athletic programs continues to make a lasting impact, and we truly appreciate your dedication to the success of Highland Athletics! ❤️🤍🖤

Let’s get after it this summer and continue building the Husky tradition!

🐾❤️🤍🖤 Congratulations to Tristen Wendling (BA German ’25), Highland Huskies Class of 2022, on receiving a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Award to Germany for 2026–27! 🇩🇪🎓✨

Tristen was inspired to pursue a Fulbright after studying abroad through the Academic Year in Freiburg (AYF) program, made possible with support from a Leona Zaharis Scholarship. During the year-long experience, he immersed himself in German language and culture while creating memories and opportunities that helped shape his future. 🌍📚👏

We love seeing our Huskies do great things and to hear about all of his accomplishments since graduating from Highland! Your Husky family is so proud of you and excited to see all that’s ahead. ❤️🤍🖤
