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.

2025-2026 Highlands Fund

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

The Highlands Fund Annual Campaign

Stronger Together. Fully Invested.

At Highlands School, tuition provides the foundation—but it’s our community’s generosity that elevates the experience for every student and educator.

The Highlands Fund supports what tuition alone cannot: transformative professional development for teachers, enhanced safety and security, and the joyful, inclusive learning environments that define Highlands.

What makes the Highlands Fund extraordinary isn’t just what it supports—it’s who supports it.

Our entire community comes together each year to make it happen:
✔️ 100% of faculty and staff
✔️ 100% of trustees
✔️ Parents, past parents, grandparents, alumni, and community partners

Every gift—no matter the amount—reflects a shared belief in the power of a Highlands education and a collective commitment to our school’s future.

Together, we show what it means to be Highlands Strong.

"Every Family, Every Gift"
An Annual Fund Campaign Poem by Sarah Cohen Gotlieb

Together we learn, together we grow,
Every gift matters—each “yes” makes it show.

By October 17, let’s meet our goal,
Then turn to Fall Festival, heart and soul.

Your gift—big or small—helps every day:
Teachers keep learning, students find their way.

 Safety and care guard each child’s place,
At Highlands School, we thrive through our shared embrace.

Join us today—be part of 100%.
Because when every family gives, every child wins.

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.
