Highlands Elementary

CELEBRATING SCHOOL COUNSELORS — Team Duval is proud to recognize National School Counseling Week and the incredible impact our more than 240 school counselors make every single day. They advocate for students, help them navigate their academic journeys, and guide them toward their goals. Our success as an A-rated district with a 97.6% graduation rate would not be possible without these dedicated professionals. As part of this special week, dozens of counselors gathered at the Schultz Center for their annual conference, focused on building student “superpowers” like grit and resilience – perfectly aligned with the national theme of helping students thrive and preparing them for college, career, and life. Their commitment to growing their own “superpowers” directly fuels student success across Team Duval. Join us in thanking our outstanding school counselors for the lasting difference they make in our schools and community!

Greetings, Hawk Families!

Both meetings will allow for questions. Please make it a priority to attend. The 3rd grade parent meeting is Monday, January 12, 2026. The 4th and 5th grade parent meeting is Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The times for both are from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Thank you for your attention to this matter and I look forward to seeing you as we come together to ensure the academic success of our students.
