Highlands Leadership Conference 2024

At the annual Highlands Leadership Conference 2024, Student Council took on the role of leadership mentors, imparting valuable skills to all eight feeder elementary schools’ Student Councils. The focus was on instilling leadership qualities, beginning with teaching cheers to boost morale and fostering the ability to lead discussions and classes effectively. The conference featured engaging sessions with energizers and ice breakers providing students with opportunities to bond and learn and practice valuable leadership skills. As the conference concluded, the participating students not only had a great deal of fun but also gained practical knowledge. They were able to apply what they learned, enhancing their student council programs at their respective schools and leaving the event with newfound confidence and enthusiasm for their roles as leaders of their respective schools.

Winter Dance 2023 "Grinchmas!"

The Cafeteria was filled with mostly nice - and also a few naughty ones lol! - for the highly-anticipated Winter Dance 2023 “Grinchmas”! It was such a blast to end the year, quarter and semester with this Dr. Seuss themed party!!! The Winter Dance 2023 “Grinchmas”, was held on December 21st @ the Cafeteria and Campus Center. This memorable and festive event had many other activities to participate in, also; it was vibrant, filled with contagious smiles and so much joy overflowing all over campus! The Grinch inevitably chose to not be a “mean one” this year, but instead the Grinch’s heart grew 3 times it's size and it was jaunty enough to even party with the ebullient students ;) The dance floor was alive blinking crowns and lights and with students partying it up like there was no tomorrow! Others were shopping at all the yummy food stands, taking unforgettable photos together, socializing, playing the glow games offered, or even watching "The Grinch" movie in the Library. The Winter Dance 2023 is by far the best dance I’ve experienced and many others agree from my assessment. A huge appreciation to all staff and students who were working and also to the amazing DJ Jojo Flow for his music that kept everyone hype from beginning to end. And finally, Merry Christmas, Mele Kalikimaka and cheers to another amazing year to come! Janessa Dagraca, Athletics Committee
