What HIGHLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Highland Community Schools is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 1030 Cardinal Drive in Highland, Wisconsin, serving students and families in the Highland community.

The district operates under the legal name Highland Community Schools, doing business as the same, with no parent company, subsidiaries, or private shareholders. Customer segments are limited to students enrolled in the district and their families, captured by statutory geography rather than commercial choice.
