Q1 eSport: Cars3

Who likes playing video games? I sure do! And lucky for us, Highlands Intermediate’s new quarterly activities are Esports! In Q1, we played Cars 3,  a racing game that allows you to choose different characters from the Cars movies. With this being one of the first events in the year, we got a lot of attention. Each team had a week to put together a team of six racers who would represent them in the competition. The six members from each team came down to the Student Council room and all tried to get the fastest times. The top racer from each team then competed in the Championship Race. They, once again, raced to get the fastest time. The competition was very close and everyone was cheering, either for their own team, or for their friends on different teams. Either way, the room was buzzing with excitement to see who would come out on top. And whether or not each player won, rest assured that everyone had an amazing time at the 2021 event, Q1 Esport: Cars 3! Marina, Student Government Treasurer

Highlands Best Dance Crew 2014

Screaming and cheering,  you could hear the packed crowd in the Cafeteria at the total other end of the school!  If you did not attend Highlands Best Dance Crew '14, you missed a lot of fun!  There were two awesome crews who preformed and they both performed flawlessly.  The crews were Hyper808 and Wild Ones.  The Wild Ones routine was awesome as they performed to "Animals" by Adam Levine.  The crowd went wild after they preformed and the entire cafeteria was cheering!  Next up were Hyper808 who stole the hearts of the audiences with their professional, polished routine!  Near the end of the Hyper808 performance the crowd could only stare in awe and when it was over, cheering so loud you thought your ear drums would burst!  They were so in sync that you would think they were triplets separated at birth!  Can you believe that Hyper808 chreographed the entire routine themselves? Simply amazing!
