Highland School

Highland Elementary School, in Cheshire,Connecticut, is a dynamic and exciting place to go to school or work. Over 140 staff members and approximately 800 students, in grades K-6, share learning experiences and extra-curricular activities that encourage cooperation, communication, and collaboration. Our talented and dedicated teachers and support staff work with the parents/guardians and community to provide a positive, safe, and nurturing environment that contributes to student success. We strive to create a community based on mutual respect in which all students become responsible citizens. We offer students a strong academic program that encompasses kindergarten through sixth grade. In addition, we have professional educators who teach and enhance learning in general music, instrumental music (grades five and six), physical education, art, and library/media skills. We also have highly trained literacy coaches who support our students in the areas of reading and mathematics. The Highland School Parent Teacher Organization provides many wonderful events for our student over the course of the year. Parents and guardians are encouraged to join this organization and attend PTO meetings.
