Message From the Principal
Highlands Middle School Students and Families -
2025-2026 has certainly flown by! I cannot believe that the end of the school year is just right around the corner. We are so excited to continue our work together, helping our students learn and grow. This is my fourth year as principal of Highlands Middle School, and it has been the best one yet. But, the year is not over and there are still many great things to come this school year for students, staff and families alike!
Together we strive to fulfill the mission, vision and values of our school, district and community. Specifically, LaGrange Highlands School District 106 serves about 1000 students from parts of Countryside, Indian Head Park, La Grange, and Western Springs. Students in Early Childhood through eighth grade make up the District 106 family. By empowering students as partners in learning, the District 106 community fosters academic ownership, dynamic learning experiences, and empathetic citizens.
It has been a great year thus far and let's commit to finishing the year strong.
Go Hornets!
