Also we would like to thank our Volunteers for the many hours they put into High Plains and into our students. Our Bison Community is amazing.

Under the Sea was a huge success. 4th and 5th graders sang their hearts out for their families. They not only sang but made beautiful art to show off during the showcase. Thank you to Mrs. Lemons, Coach Beck, Mrs. Schultz, Mr. Waido and Miss Angi for a great showcase.

Give Next 2024/2025

Our Give Next Class created a mission this year that focused on school safety. Through research, interviews, and class discussions, our students identified multiple root causes of school violence and chose to support nonprofits that focused on some of those root causes. As a class, we had $6000 to award to organizations and our students chose to fund the following nonprofit organizations: Heart & Sol, The BIPOC Alliance, KickStart Self-Defense, and The SAVA Center. We are so proud of our students for being change makers and choosing this class as an elective to make a difference in our community!

Give Next & Kinders

Middle school students in Give Next got to help our Kindergarteners with their subtraction skills by playing Hungry Hungry Hippos! This is the best part about being in a K-8 school - all ages work together to help each other learn.

3 kinders along with 2 third graders speaking to a Park Ranger about their solution.
Kindergarten & Third Grade PBL

Kindergarten and Third Grade got together to work on a PBL. The PBL was to come up with solutions for National and State parks with problems that common to the parks. It was great to see the Third graders coaching up the Kinders on how to speak, how to share their information, and how to present to a panelist. Great work.
