This is the Home Page of the Highland High Class of 1960.  The site was established in the late 1990s to assist in organizing the 40th Reunion that was held in 2000.  Several Reunions later, we hope that you find the site continues to be relevant.  

As always, if you have something to contribute, such as an idea for new content, or if you would like to see something you wrote or photographed be added to the site, please let us know.  Going forward the site will be monitored and maintained by a group of HHS people.  There is no single email address to which you can write or complain, so please use the Contact Us Page to get in touch.  If you find a content error or a link error, please let us know right away.  We aren't perfect, but we are trying to do our best.
