Celia C. Pérez is coming to Highland on Thursday 10/17! She'll be doing large group sessions, have lunch with students, do book signing, AND lead a zine workshop for a small group of students. To apply for the zine workshop, complete this form. Applications are due at 6:00pm on Monday, 10/14.
Over the summer of 2019, Highland students and staff were asked to read one of the books selected for the 2019 Highland Reads program. In the fall there will be activities related to the books and their themes found throughout the school.
VISIT our FLIPGRID to share your thoughts, ideas, and connections about the books over the summer!
Once you've decided which book(s) you'd like to read, this form can be used to order the book(s). Book orders are due by May 1 and copies will be distributed before the end of the school year.
New with the 2019 program, we have a partner school, Mark Sheridan Math and Science Academy in Chicago, to learn with based on these books and their themes. We're excited to connect our students and classrooms in the fall! You'll notice the opportunity to donate a book our partner school to make sure all students can participate.
