Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Highlands District Curriculum
The elementary curriculum is designed to prepare students to learn through reading and initiate critical thinking skills. The K-2 program highlights literacy and work with numbers, as students progress from one grade level to the next. These skills will help students learn in other subjects and outside the classroom.
The high school offers students various course selections to prepare them for either college or career. Students can take various advanced placement (AP) and honors (H) level courses, as well as receive college credit through the following programs: Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA) and Orange County Community College (OCCC).

Chalk Talk: Valuable Lessons about Green Teaching
Opportunities to make “green”, or environmentally aware, decisions are abundant. It is now clear that the Earth is a valuable asset to humans, and humans should be more conscious of how they use its resources. Today’s youth are much more green savvy than previous generations, as environmental conscientiousness is ingrained in their collective consciousness. Many schools are channeling this awareness through various initiatives designed to promote conservation. The most obvious method of conservation is to reuse and recycle old materials. Teachers can reuse paper by printing on both sides and providing students with scrap paper to do their class work. Recycling bins can be placed throughout the campus for all materials. Teachers can create projects for students to make items out of old materials. Other important lessons that schools can teach students are to turn off lights and other electronics when not needed, plant gardens, and harvest the crops for food.
