Highland Local School District

This week, Highland students participated in the inaugural summer Artificial Intelligence (AI) camp, an in-person, project-based artificial intelligence program delivered by Inspirit AI, an AI education program developed and taught by Stanford and MIT alumni. Students developed their AI projects and presented them at the end of camp.

Out of 60 teams that have competed on Academic Challenge this season, our Highland High School team placed third! This Saturday, June 6, at 11:30 a.m. on NewsChannel 5, Joey Gray, Nick Lutsock, and Caitlyn Thornton will compete against teams from Brecksville and Revere to see who will be named Academic Challenge season champions!! Make sure to tune in as we cheer on our Hornets!

The team also includes alternate Logan Yeager and is coached by HHS teachers Andrew Dutt and Tracy Goebel.

Congratulations to our Highland Hornets Varsity Baseball team for their district championship win last week! Tomorrow (Wednesday, June 3), they will take on the Walsh Jesuit Warriors in regional semifinal action at 5 p.m. at Gilmour Academy (34001 Cedar Rd, Gates Mills). Let's go, Hornets!

Dear Highland Families -

We have officially closed out another school year. Thank you for your support and for giving us the distinct privilege of helping your students learn and grow. Thank you for choosing the Highland Local School District.

We wish you all a very safe, happy, and healthy summer filled with joyful memories. We cannot wait to see you back again in August!

HAPPY SUMMER BREAK, HORNETS!

Yesterday, after the 5th-grade clap-out, our Granger Elementary students had the best time ever getting hosed down by members of our Granger Fire Department! As they move on to Highland Middle School next year, this will be a memory they will take with them always! Bring on summer!

After a year of incredible dedication to academics, there is no greater joy than seeing our elementary students in celebration mode!

It's the last week of school, and the fun has already started! Field Days and Clap-Outs and End-of-Year Carnivals, oh my! Here we go, Hornet Nation - let's finish strong!

Highland - today, we close out our student spotlights with Nicolas Calanni! Nicolas graduated from Highland High School and from the Construction Trades program at Medina County Career Center last week! Through his program, he took full advantage of the opportunity for an apprenticeship in the carpenters' union. As a result of that opportunity, combined with his hard work and dedication to his trade, he has already been hired by Schirmer Construction. We are so proud of you, Nicolas, and wish you the best of everything!

We remember, recognize and honor all who have sacrificed their lives for our nation. May they never be forgotten.
