You are invited to attend a fundraising GALA, an elegant evening of entertainment and fine cuisine entitled Change is in the Air . $50.00 per person minimum donation. All proceeds to benefit Highland Academy . Please RSVP the school at 615.325.2036 or Karen Schimp at kschimp@highland-academy.com.
Friday, 9:00-10:00 am
Becky Patrick, the HA principal, invites you to attend a special brainstorming session to discuss the vision and future of Highland Academy. This is your chance as alumni to have a voice and involvement in the future of the school. Exciting ideas are in the works. Where do we want to be in five years? What is our unique mission and niche? You will have the opportunity to offer suggestions and give input in such areas as enrollment, the physical plant, industry and student jobs, social interaction, spiritual growth, quality academics, dorm life, and community perception. This is not a gripe session but a thinktank of how to continue to grow into excellence.
