    From the Principal, Mark Anderson…
     
    Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I know that this year will be especially good for the students at Highland Lakes. The beginning of the school year is always an exciting time. 
    Kindergarten students and their parents are anxious about the new adventure that they are  about to begin, and returning students are wondering about what changes the new school 
    year will bring for them. Teachers are planning exciting lessons for their students and are looking forward to helping your child succeed. We are working very hard to make certain 
    that our students are developing strong academic, social, and emotional skills.
     
    There is a new energy this year that seems to be contagious. Along with the new energy, we have also added the following staff members to the Highland Lakes School family:
    • Stacy Thomson - Secretary 
    • Sharon Sawyer - First Grade 
    • Lorin Herrington - Second Grade 
    • Karen Lock - 2nd Grade 
    • Amy Boven - 7/8th Grade Counselor 
    • Jeremy Cross - Adaptive PE 
    • Kim Downey - Itin. Gifted Specialist 
    • Corrine Guest - Middle School Math 
    • Kim Howey - Reading Specialist 
    • Cassie Payton - Cafeteria Manager
    Each individual brings their own energy and expertise to our campus and I truly believe they are all excellent additions to our staff. The new teachers in partnership with our returning 
    staff will continue to offer your children the high quality of academics you have grown to expect from the HLS educational community.
