Enduring Lessons and Friendships
“I have been blessed to be a member of The Highlands School family for 20 years. During that time, I have experienced THS as both a parent and an educator. My family began thinking of the school as a second home where we built lifelong friendships with other parents, students, faculty and staff members. As a group, we parents had a support team that guided us through playground squabbles, forgotten math books and last-minute carpool pickups. 

Whether in the classroom, sporting events, retreats or Parent’s Club activities, THS introduced my family to a wide variety of people who, like me, felt called to serve the mission of our school. Together, the THS community builds a strong, faithful, positive partnership to educate and grow strong leaders who see value in virtue, commit to serving others and spread God’s word.”
