Highland High School
Highland High School is a Western Association of Schools and Colleges
(WASC) accredited school serving 9th through 12th grade students
in West Palmdale, California (U.S.A.). As a
comprehensive high school, Highland offers students a variety of
curricular and extra curricular choices.
Highland
opened its doors in 1989 at its temporary location behind Quartz Hill
High School and moved into our permanent facility in 1991.
In 2006, Highland was designated a California Distinguished School.
Academically, students may choose from University preparatory and honors
classes as well as classes designed to prepare students to enter the
work force after graduation. We offer both a robust special
education department to assist students with learning disabilities and
several honors programs including International Baccalaureate and
Advanced Placement. Graduates must meet both Antelope Valley Union
High School District and the State of California graduation
requirements, including passage of the California High School Exit Exam
(CAHSEE).
Highland offers students the
opportunity to participate in a variety of intra school athletic
programs at several levels of competitiveness. Highland
participates in Golden League of the California Interscholastic
Federation.
Student extra curricular
activities are primarily governed by the elected student government
called the Associated Student Body of Highland High School (HHS ASB).
The ASB facilitates a variety of social events and after school clubs.
