Ways to Give
Investments made by parents, alumni, and our community partners have ensured that Highland Community School continues to educate the next generation of innovators and community leaders.
At Highland, our motto has always been “All of us or none of us!” We strive to ensure that every opportunity that we offer is available and accessible to all students. It requires raising additional funds above and beyond our state funding.
There are many ways to show your support for Highland.
When you give a gift of any size to our Annual Fund you are investing in all Highland students. You are supporting this work as they become informed, compassionate, life-long learners.

You may need to provide Highland’s tax id number: 39-1133108. To see if your company has a matching gift program, contact your human resource department.
Grants for Volunteering
Some companies will give a grant if you complete a set number of volunteer hours in a year. Not only could you complete your parent engagement hours, but you could also help the school secure additional funds. Talk to your human resources department to see if your company offers this type of encouragement for you to volunteer.
Honor / Memorial Gifts
You can make a gift in honor or memory of a family member, favorite teacher, student, or friend. This is a thoughtful way to honor someone’s accomplishments or remember a person’s life. To make a gift in honor or memory of someone, please indicate your intention. You can also make such a gift on our secure donation form. There is a space for you to fill out who you’d like to honor as well as who we should send the notification of your thoughtfulness.
In-Kind Gifts
Donations of goods and services support the school operations. Often classroom teachers have a wishlist of items their classroom could use. If you have a larger donation to offer, please visit our main office to make arrangements.
