Triple A: Highland Park nominated Oliver Paleen for the Region 4 MSHSL Triple A award. The Region 4 committee unanimously voted for Oliver as the region finalist. There are 8 regions in the state so Oliver is one of eight finalist. The statewide winner will be chosen on March 21. The Triple A award stands for excellence in Arts, Academics, and Athletics. Congratulations to Oliver and good luck the rest of the way.
