Fall Dance 2024 "Spongebob PartyPants!"

“Are you ready kids?” “Aye Aye Captain!!” Spongebob PartyPants was a major hit at the our first big dance of the year, Fall Dance 2024! To see all of the smiles on students' and teachers’ faces really did feel like we were partying it up underwater at Bikini Bottom! With engaging activities like Let’s Go Fishing and Spongebob Toss, Jellyfishing, and Krusty Krab Tattoos, students were able to have so much fun outside of the cafeteria by winning prizes just for participating! Speaking of the cafeteria, words could not describe how immaculate the vibes were as DJ JoJo Flow did his thing and everyone danced with their friends! We couldn’t think of a better way to end the first quarter of school this year! Big mahalos to the Dance Committee, Student Council and to everyone who helped to put this amazing event together!  Lyric Esperanza , Assembly Committee

Highlands Haunted House 6: "The Call of Cthulhu!"

Highlands Haunted House 6: “ The Call of Cthulhu!” was definitely Highland’s BEST haunted house yet!  It was the end of our haunted house trilogy which started with 2015’s HH4: “The Curse of the Witch Doll”, then 2016’s HH5: “The Thing That Should Not Be!” and culminating with this year’s HH6: “The Call of Cthulhu!”  This year’s haunt was a success as evidenced with the many screams of both terror and fun! The Highlands Student Council planned this epic 4 day haunt where on each day, two teams braved the deep, dark dungeons below the Student Council Room! At least there were Guides who took our guests into the dark and kept them safe...at least, TRIED to keep them safe from the great Cthulhu, a gigantic, fearful Beast whose cult members were everywhere trying to wake him, to make him live again! Zombies and shadows also followed you in the dark, prisoners screamed for help, and then, the giant demon appeared amongst the tombs, crypts and graves! And if that wasn’t enough, there ultimately was the great Cthulhu that attacked you as you desperately tried to make your escape!  A lot of effort was put into this year’s haunted house and it really paid off… Special thank you to Mr.Weeks for the amazing artwork! Big shout out to Mrs. Fonoti and the LC Class too! On top of that, the HH6 hosted a cast and crew of over 30 Student Council members and some friends!!! From a normal classroom, to blank vinyl walls, and then an unforgettable haunted house experience -- this year’s haunt showcased all the talent Highlands has to offer and was an amazing experience to get us ready for Halloween!  Bianca, Tricia, Skyla, Brandie -- Student Government
