⚡ Welcome Back, Blue Streaks! ⚡
The countdown is on! The first day of school is Tuesday, August 11th (A Day Schedule), and we can’t wait to see everyone back on campus! 🎒
Here are two quick things you need to know before you arrive:
🔹Pick Up Your Schedule: ALL students must pick up a printed schedule in the Smith Center first thing in the morning—this printed paper is your official ticket into class! 🎟️
🔹Beat the Traffic: Traffic gets notoriously backed up during the first few days of school. Give yourself a little extra time in the morning so you aren’t rushing!
Let’s make this a great year! Go Blue Streaks! ⚡💙

Hey, Blue Streaks! 💙⚡
The countdown is officially ON! We can't wait to see everyone back on campus Tuesday, August 11! 📅
🔋 Returning Students: Time to dust off those school-issued Chromebooks! Dig them out from the bottom of your backpacks (or wherever they’ve been hiding all summer) and get them plugged in today. Starting Day 1 with 100% battery = starting the year strong. 💪
📌 Quick Reminders Before Tuesday:
Freshmen & New Students: Don't stress—you’ll receive your Chromebooks during the first week of school during your English class!
Middle School Tech: Still holding onto a Chromebook or charger from middle school? Bring it with you to SHS and we’ll gladly return it for you.
Enjoy these last few days of summer, get those sleep schedules back on track, and let's make it a great year! 🎒✨

The School Board of Highlands County is excited to launch Highlands PLUS, a brand-new way for non-enrolled and non-traditional students in our community to access high-quality district courses. Students can take as little as one course or several. Courses can be taken in person or virtually through Highlands Virtual School (HVS)! Please note that course availability varies by school.
Whether your student is looking to explore a new passion or get ahead, we offer incredible courses in:
🔬 STEM
🎨 Fine Arts
💼 Career & Technical Education (CTE)
📚 Core Academics (Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies—including Honors!)
💻 Virtual Learning
We are an authorized StepUp for Students provider! We accept payments directly through the EMA portal as well as direct pay options. This program is specifically designed for non-traditional students who may be utilizing the FTC or FES school choice scholarships.
Access to a district Chromebook is fully included in your course enrollment price. Accidental Chromebook damage is covered by paying an annual $10 use fee.
Note: Highlands PLUS is for non-enrolled students, meaning SBHC acts as a contracted service provider. Participants are not enrolled as full-time public school students.
👉 Ready to customize your child's education? Log into your StepUp EMA portal or visit our district website at https://www2.highlands.k12.fl.us/plus to explore courses and begin enrollment today!

You must turn in a green paper to get a sticker on your ID if you want to be able to leave early after exams. The papers can be picked up in the front office.
If you have a cell phone, you can load your ID through the SHS app (directions here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15a9JQ3dCLhKesnP7YSkSdZ4oMf7hJQX0IPKa8Bygdc0/edit?slide=id.g840826f32b_0_0#slide=id.g840826f32b_0_0).
