High Mount Elementary School

What High Mount Elementary School does

High Mount School is a public K-8 school district (High Mount School District 116) operating in Swansea, Illinois, serving students from Prekindergarten through 8th grade. The district delivers its educational programs through two parallel "Blue and Gold Way" pathways—one for PreK-4th grade and one for 5th-8th grade—and structures its offerings around student achievement, personal success, and the development of responsible citizens. As a government entity, the district is funded through state and local tax revenues and federal grants rather than tuition, and does not charge district residents for educational services. No revenue figures, headcount, or budget data are publicly disclosed in the available source material.

The district's digital infrastructure is built entirely on third-party platforms: its public-facing website and content management system are powered by Apptegy with a mobile-responsive design, while the parent portal that families use to access school information and communication tools is operated by Thrillshare. The district also publishes native iOS and Android mobile applications, an online student handbook, an annual school supply list, and a school calendar as supporting resources. A student safety reporting layer—built on Google Forms and integrated with the statewide Safe 2 Help Illinois platform—enables anonymous tip submission for bullying, violence, and mental health concerns, supplemented by district-branded Safe 2 Talk and See Something Say Something tools.

Marketing and community outreach are digital-first, centered on the highmountschool.com website and supplemented by Facebook (@HMS116) and X/Twitter (@highmountschool) accounts. The district self-attests to WCAG Level AA accessibility compliance and operates under the oversight of a local Board of Education. No parent company, subsidiaries, management team roster, funding rounds, acquisitions, or executive leadership changes appear in the available source material, consistent with a single-campus, government-operated K-8 institution.
