☀️📚 We’re officially in our Summer Era, Huskies! ❤️

The backpacks are packed away, the alarms are turned off, and it’s time for sunshine, adventures, and making memories!

Thank you to our amazing students, staff, families, and community for another incredible school year at Highland. We hope your summer is filled with laughter, relaxation, and fun.

We can’t wait to see everyone back in the fall refreshed and ready for another great year!

🏐 Meet the Coaches 🏐

Highland is excited to welcome back alumna Kelsey Black (‘17) alongside Anne Schlabaugh as Co-Head Volleyball Coaches!

A four-year varsity volleyball player at Highland, Kelsey knows firsthand what it means to wear the Husky jersey. Last season marked her first year as Highland’s assistant volleyball coach, adding to nine years of coaching experience that also includes coaching Highland junior high softball. Her coaching philosophy centers on character development, mastering fundamentals, emotional control, and creating a positive environment where athletes can grow both on and off the court.

Kelsey’s passion for Highland runs deep: “I love that I’ve had the opportunity to give back and represent the school that helped build me. The support and pride we receive from the district is unmatched and truly speaks volumes for the character of the students, staff, and the community.”

Anne brings 13+ years of experience coaching junior high and high school volleyball teams and is passionate about building teamwork, confidence, and a strong program culture while helping student-athletes develop both as players and people.

We look forward to seeing the growth of our student-athletes both on and off the court under the leadership of Coach Black and Coach Schlabaugh! Go Huskies!

Day 1 of the IGHSAU State Golf Tournament is here! ⛳️

Go Huskies!!

This morning marked our final Highland Hype Crew welcome of the school year, and it was the perfect way to wrap things up before summer break! We were excited to have River City Church representatives and Highland ESO representatives join us this morning to help send our students into summer on a positive note.

A huge thank you to everyone who gave up their mornings these last two months to help create such a positive start to the school day for our students. From the music and fist bumps to the smiles and encouraging energy, these mornings became something our students truly looked forward to each week.

The Highland Hype Crew has been such a fun and meaningful addition to our school year, and we’re already looking forward to continuing it again next year. We’re especially excited to explore ways to involve Highland High School teams, organizations, and clubs!

Bring on summer!
