We moved here a year and a half ago from Las Vegas NV and I was very nervous about moving my (then) third grader to a new school. However I consider myself blessed to have found this amazing community school! From the Principal and his staff to the teachers and the parents this school is top notch! I would not hesitate one bit to recommend this school to a newcomer!

Highland Creek is top notch. Every child is treated fairly and equitably. Discipline is handled in a calm but firm manner and volunteerism in the class room clearly demonstrates the partnership between school and home teacher and parent. I came form another school and the atmosphere between the two schools is almost night and day. It's a fun place for learning.

Highland Creek has a very devoted staff. They are committed to ensuring that these kids get the best education they can. The school also offers many additional activities like chorus recorder club etc.....which help the kids get more involved in their school. This builds a good foundation for later years promoting school spirit and community service. In addition they have fun activities that benefit the school and the children such as the movie night!!!
