Farewell Dance 2025 "How Far We'll Go..."

At this year's Farewell Dance 2025 "How Far We'll Go...", we all came together as a school to celebrate and go out with a bang! The students were on top of the world on the last day of school and that paired so perfectly to the music from DJ JoJo Flow -- it was all just good vibes on campus all day!! We finally had the chance to relax and let loose now that school was coming to an end and it couldn't have been better! This was the final time for all of us, as a school and community, to come together and celebrate everything that happened this year. Dance Committee worked hard to make the whole thing come together and it showed! Thank you to all of the students, teachers, staff and volunteers who made this all possible! Have a great summer, Colts - you deserve it all ;)

Farewell Assembly 2025

This school year is coming to an end, which means it’s time for our annual Highlands Farewell Assembly 2025 where we say goodbye to our awesome 8th Graders (Class of 2029) and wish them all the best moving on to high school!  We also wish best of luck to all the 7th Graders (Class of 2030) moving onto 8th Grade. The Farewell Assembly took place at the Cafeteria by grade level after the 8th Grade Walk. Organized by the Assembly Committee, the Farewell Assembly contained inspiring messages from our very own Student Council and Committee Chairs, heartwarming videos, and lots and lots of fun! The big announcement came when we revealed the 2025 Highlands Spirit Cup Champions - Team Kupono!!! We also revealed the school theme for the upcoming 25-26 sy (Dreamworks) and what the Team's avatars (characters) will be. Lastly, the most important segment of the assembly was the annual teacher farewells to all the teachers that will be leaving us this year.  A hui hou to Mr. Ogata, Mr. Phung and Ms. Kaley!   It was quite a journey, and flew by way too fast, but we were glad to have everyone together on the last day of the school year...

The 8th Grade Walk 2025

On Thursday, May 29th, 2025 the mighty Class of 2029 had their final walk around campus as a Highlands Intermediate 8th Grader. Some say that this is a bittersweet moment, but to your 8th Grade Class Council, we saw it as an unforgettable and significant moment in our lives. We got the chance to celebrate our growth and also reflect on our time in middle school as we walked past our old classrooms and hangout spots. The 7th Graders, teachers, staff and admin cheered for us as we walked through the hallways one last time. The 8th Grade Walk is a Highlands tradition started a long time ago and it still made our eyes water and voices tremble as we took our final steps around our beloved campus. Kiley-Ann Hue, 8th Grade Class Vice-President

Farewell Video 2025

Goodbye school year 2024-2025! The Farewell Video is an annual tradition to remember this past school year and all the great memories that were made. For 2 weeks we students and teachers from each team came down to the Student Council room during lunch to film their part and answer questions about this school year. Some questions they had to answer were what were their favorite activity and what was their favorite memory... We also had every committee and council from Student Council film a video and give a little message to everyone. We hope to be able to look back at this video someday and remember all the fun, amazing, and memorable times we had together this school year. The Farewell Video 2025 will be premiered at the Farewell Assembly 2025 on the last day of school.
