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.

8th Grade Walk 2024

May 30th, 2024 was the last day of the 23-24 school year and per Highlands tradition, we kicked the big day off with the annual 8th Grade Walk. Taking a trip down memory lane, the 8th graders had their last walk around the campus as the 7th graders were scattered in every walkway and sidewalk to celebrate the 8th graders’ big achievement - completing middle school and becoming a high schooler! A few days before, all the 7th Grade Homerooms made farewell banners, posters, chalk drawings, and paper cranes to hang in the hallway to give the 8th Graders the confidence as they begin their new journey. It was like a big parade full of smiles, tears - some happy, some sad - as it was their time on campus, remembering all their teachers, friends, and all the amazing memories they’ve made at Highlands Intermediate ;)  Anya Griffin, 8th Grade Secretary

8th Grade Banquet 2024

This year's 8th Grade Banquet “Masquerade” was an event to remember 🪩🎉🎶🤩 Thanks to everyone who came out and danced their hearts out on the last week fo school! An even bigger thanks goes out to our teachers and staff members for even making this event possible. Throughout the school year teachers fundraised enough money for this event to make sure we 8th Graders had the time of our lives. Without the help of our 8th Grade Class Advisor, Ms. Fujii, we wouldn’t have been able to make this happen. Thorough planning and work throughout the year had all led up to this event. It was a team effort that reached success with the help of all of our peers. Centerpieces, games, prizes, music, allowed everyone to have fun and dance, dance, dance! Centerpieces went out to the youngest student at the table. Games were administered all throughout the dance so students had a choice to either dance or play games. Along with the food and dessert, it was delicious ;) Students were able to play games and redeem their game card for prizes from snacks to necklaces. With that being said, thanks to our wonderful teachers and staff for making our final year at Highlands something to remember… THAT’S A WRAP COLTS!! Kaylani Gordon, 8th Grade Vice-President

The 8th Grade Walk 2023

What a way to end off the most wonderful, incredible, and fantastic school year?!? The Highlands Student Council and Assembly Committee put together the annual 8th Grade Walk with the help of all 7th Grade Homerooms and all teachers and staff members. The 8th Grade Walk was an amazing way for the entire school to come together to celebrate all of their accomplishments and to empower them to move on into high school. As it was, the Class of 2027's last experience here at Highlands Intermediate was a time of immense happiness, but also sadness, yet filled with gratitude for all the events they have got to experience as students of this amazing school! It was truly bittersweet… The 8th Grade Walk all in all was an experience none of us will never ever forget and it was an unbelievable way to end off our time here as students of our beloved Highlands Intermediate School.
