Principal's Message

Welcome to Highland Park Middle School! Our school community is committed to making a difference in the lives of our students by supporting both their academic and social growth, ensuring they can realize their full potential. We value what each individual brings to our learning community, and we recognize that when we work, learn, and celebrate together, everyone benefits.

As a school community, we center our work around three foundational pillars:

• Belonging: Ensuring every student feels safe, welcome, seen, and valued for who they are.

• Accountability: Empowering students to take responsibility for their learning, actions, and positive impact on others.

• Growth: Challenging and supporting students to make continuous academic and personal progress every day.

Highland Park is a Future Ready School. All students have the option to check out their very own Chromebook for use throughout the school year. We approach this opportunity with a strong focus on developing good digital habits, teaching our students to intentionally view and use technology as a powerful tool for learning, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Our mission is to provide a well-rounded education for all students that includes:

• Learning through a unique, experimental, and collaborative process.

• Inspiring creative, critical, and analytical thinking.

• Providing a rigorous and technologically enhanced curriculum that promotes responsible digital citizenship.

• Creating educational opportunities that broaden student experiences and meet future school and workforce needs.

• Assisting our children in becoming globally competitive in a world-wide economy.

• Incorporating research-based information with our community-based partners.

We invite you to partner with us as we engage, inspire, and empower a community of learners. ​
