Hello to our Highland High School Students!
We know this is an unfamiliar, unprecedented time, but please know your counselors are still here for you! We are only an email or phone call away and are very wiling to set up zoom meetings. There have been many unknowns and there will continue to be for the next month or two. However, we applaud you for your maturity, flexibility, and willingness to continue learning in a completely different way on such short notice. As isolating as our current situation may seem at times, we encourage you all to continue connecting with others however you can!
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us in the upcoming weeks!
Sincerely- your School Counseling Team
