Way back in 1959, Highlands Intermediate was known as the Hilltoppers because back then the school was located at the very "top" of Pearl City. Then came the Trojans. With the upcoming 50th Anniversary Assembly a need arose for the school's mascot to reflect Highlands Intermediate as youthful, vibrant, full of energy, more modern and to also match the high school's mascot the Charger.
A Mascot Committee was then formed from the student body of Highlands Intermediate. They polled their fellow students and went to a vote to come up with The Colts as a symbol of our school in the 21st century. The search for an appropriate artist was long and thorough and a final design was picked upon many. The newly drawn logo was then presented to our SCC at meeting in early March and passed with praise and promise just in time for the schedule unveiling at our school's historic 50th Anniversary Assembly.
And so, without any further ado, here is Highlands Intermediate's new mascot....The Highlands Colts!
