To All South Highlands’ Families and Friends,

    It is my honor to be named as the new Principal of South Highlands Academic and Performing Arts Magnet!  I am no stranger to South Highlands and I know the expectations for continuing the long tradition of academic excellence.  I am excited about the future of our school as we work together to continue this legacy of excellence. The legacy that is South Highlands!  

     If you are a prospective parent, please take time to review each faculty biography.  You will not find a more accomplished, capable, or caring faculty!  I have listed just a few of South Highlands Points of Pride below for your immediate review. Please see the Points of Pride section for the entire list. You will be impressed!
