Highlands Fund

Now, more than ever, we ask that you consider supporting the Highlands Fund. We know it is hard to believe, but the investment your family makes in your child’s tuition does not cover the cost of their education. Like most independent schools, we rely on the generous giving of our community to balance our budget and close the operating gap. Your gift allows us to fulfill the mission of Highlands School by providing essential funds to our operating budget.

2024-2025 Highlands Fund

Your gift will help us in three specific areas this year. 

Affordable Tuition 

Our goal is to attract and enroll families who align with the mission of the school, regardless of their financial situation. We rely on our Affordable Tuition program to provide families with the best education possible at costs parents can manage.

Campus Security

Security has always been a top priority at Highlands School, and last year we made a significant investment to increase our safety efforts on campus.

Our School Resource Officer is Deputy Mark Eaton. He is on campus every day from 7:30AM until 3:30PM, which is when a Jefferson County Sheriff arrives to patrol the campus until the Family Center and EDP close at 6PM

PRofessional Development 

The key to any great school is its faculty. In order to foster growth-minded students, it is essential we have growth-minded faculty. This is achieved through a robust professional development (PD) program geared towards the individual, grade level, and school-wide goals. We are fortunate at Highlands to be able to provide our faculty and staff the opportunity to work with the experts.

Looking for Other Reasons to Give?

  • Many foundations and organizations, such as the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and SAIS, look at parent participation (not only in volunteer efforts but also contributions to the school) when making their awards. 
  • Many of our donors take advantage of their employers’ matching gift program, doubling or tripling their gifts to the school. 
  • As opposed to tuition, the Highlands Fund donations are tax-deductible. Giving to the Highlands Fund qualifies a portion of your child’s education as a tax write-off.
