Volunteers Make It All Possible

Help enrich academic excellence and enhance academic innovation at our Highland Schools. The Highland Foundation is always looking for volunteers from the community to further advance the mission of our organization. The Foundation is organized into the nine committees listed below. Each committee is chaired by a Trustee and meetings typically occur on a monthly basis.
