Spirit Week 2025: Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday was full of energy and school spirit as everyone showed up dressed like it was the 2000s. The halls were packed with jorts, oversized jerseys, trucker hats, and backwards caps—it honestly felt like we had traveled back in time. Seeing everyone’s creative throwback outfits made the day even more exciting, and students were laughing, hyping each other up, and showing off their fits all day long. The activities made the celebration even better, especially the retro photo booth where friends snapped hilarious and unforgettable pictures together. From posing like early 2000s pop stars to recreating iconic trends, the photo booth was a huge hit. There were plenty of other fun activities happening throughout lunch, so there was never a dull moment. Throwback Thursday was an amazing part of Spirit Week 2025. It brought students together, boosted school spirit, and made the entire campus feel upbeat and connected. It’s definitely a day we won’t forget!Ryder Higgens, Leadership Class

Christmas Spirit Week 2024: Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Booth

The holiday season has arrived and the weather has been getting a little chillier day by day, hasn’t it? To help keep everyone nice and warm, the Assembly Committee hosted the Ugly Christmas Sweater Photo Booth at the Student Council Room for students to dress up and show off their favorite ugly sweater with their besties! With Christmas music blasting loudly everyone hammed it up in front of the camera and they were rewarded with prizes for everyone who participated. It was so fun to see everyone’s funny poses in their ugly sweaters ;) This activity was the absolute perfect way to capture the moment of this special holiday season and also spend time with those they love. - Lyric Esperanza , Assembly Committee

Halloween Bash 2024

Happy Halloween, Highlands! What better way to celebrate the spookiest day of the year than by having a fun day for students and staff to dress up and participate in some frightful holiday activities all at the same time! This Halloween, there were several activities such as the Halloween Costume Contest and Haunted Highlands Photo Booth! We got to see so many amazing costumes and they were all super creative and spooky! With the help of the Student Council and Mr. White students got to go home with wonderful memories and a sweet treat! Dwayne Yoshioka, Spirit Committee

Highlands Haunted House 7 Photo Booth

BOO! That was the feeling -- of both fear and excitement -- that saturated the air as everyone who ran out of this year’s haunt had!  Everyone had the expression of fright and shock as they took their pictures at our photo booth, the actual last stop at Highlands Haunted House 7.  Most couldn’t wait to post their evidence of survival on Instagram ;) Either way, the expressions of those who exited the haunt were priceless and those moments were then captured as our photo booth snapped away. Over a four day run, the reactions from the people who exited the haunted house was unforgettable and it showed in the pictures they took, especially from the looks on their faces! This was evidence on just how powerful an experience our haunted house can be... Chase, 8th Grade President

Highlands Haunted House 6 Photo Booth

3...2...1...Boo!  Were you too scared to think about Highlands Haunted House 6: “The Call of Cthulhu!” or were you just too scared to remember?!?  While all these students were just getting over their fear and anxiety from this year’s haunt, they were also getting pictures of themselves to validate all their wild and terrified experiences! These pictures also served to document their survival and can now brag to their friends and family that they did indeed survive HH6… Congratulations to all that lived to tell the tale and share those awesome pics!
