Principal's Message

Welcome Pride Family!

I’m thrilled to serve as Highland’s Principal for the 2025–2026 school year! After three years as Assistant Principal, Highland truly feels like home, and I’m grateful to continue leading this amazing community.

Joining me is Mrs. Becca Ware, our new Assistant Principal. Together, we’re committed to maintaining a safe, welcoming environment and delivering high-quality, engaging instruction. Through evidence-based curriculum, strong academic support, and our continued use of PRIDE values—Personal responsibility, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Empathy—we’ll help every student grow.

Attendance matters! Consistent attendance builds skills and strong relationships. Please prioritize it and communicate any challenges—we're here to help.

Stay connected through our Friday Family Connection newsletter and Class Dojo. Make sure your contact info is current in Final Forms to keep communication smooth.

We also invite you to get involved—join events, volunteer, or connect with our PTC. Your participation strengthens our school and supports student success.

We’re excited for a fantastic year ahead! Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. Please reach out with any questions.

Warmly,
Ellie Lawson
Principal, Highland Elementary
