Happy Earth Day! 🌎💚
Did you know? Virtual learning can have a positive impact on the environment! By learning from home, students help reduce daily transportation emissions, use less paper, and minimize overall resource consumption. 🚗⬇️📄
Our virtual students are in a unique position to make a difference - whether it’s using less paper, conserving energy at home, recycling, or supporting eco-friendly habits in their communities. Small choices add up to big change! ♻️✨
We also love seeing learning come to life - Mrs. Bozeman’s class is exploring plants and learning to identify each part, helping students better understand the natural world and how to care for it. 🌱🔍
Together, we can protect our planet - today and every day. 🌿 #EarthDay #Sustainability #VirtualLearning

Happy Assistant Principal Week to an incredible leader who truly does it all! 🎉
Mrs. Goudge is the heart behind so much of what makes our school run smoothly. From overseeing full-time HVS students, to supporting flex students, homeschool families, and our academy, she somehow manages to balance it all with grace, organization, and care.
She navigates multiple systems, rules, and expectations with expertise, and when something new comes up, she meets it with honesty, transparency, and a commitment to finding the right solution. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her dedication to doing things the right way never goes unnoticed.
But what truly sets her apart is her heart for people. Our students are never just numbers to her. She knows their stories, their families, and their goals. She advocates for them, opens doors they didn’t even know existed, and works tirelessly to ensure both students and staff have what they need to succeed.
Each morning, you’ll find her outside, greeting academy students as they arrive—starting their day with respect, encouragement, and a genuine smile. That consistency, that presence, matters more than words can say.
Mrs. Goudge leads with integrity, compassion, and an open door. She is someone you can trust, someone you can go to, and someone who truly listens.
We are so lucky to have you. Thank you for everything you do - today and every day! 💙

Highlands Virtual School Student Leaders had the privilege to learn from Mr. and Mrs. Whidden that "to change the world, you must never ever right the bell" and to persevere through life's challenges. Students walked away inspired by the message, a powerful reference to the perseverance of Navy SEAL training.
Our student leaders learned that success starts with small, intentional actions - like making your bed each morning to build pride and momentum for the day ahead.
Additional key takeaways included measuring people by their hearts, not their size, facing challenges head-on, and the importance of being your best even in your darkest moments.
We are proud of our Highlands Virtual student leaders for embracing these lessons and continuing to grow into the leaders of tomorrow! 💙

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
We are SO excited to share that our virtual school is officially upgrading to Scratch & Sniff™ Monitors to better support student learning and engagement!
That’s right—no more just seeing and hearing your lessons… now you can SMELL them too. 🤯
👃 Science class? Experience the rainforest like you’re really there.
🍕 Culinary lessons? Yes, that’s actual pizza you’re smelling. (No, you still can’t eat it.)
🏋️♂️ Virtual PE? Fully immersive… you’ll understand why we say “you should’ve worn deodorant.”
We believe this cutting-edge technology will help students stay focused, engaged, and slightly confused at all times.
📦 Devices will be distributed next week. Please remind students:
• Do NOT scratch aggressively
• Do NOT sniff classmates’ screens
• If your monitor smells like burnt popcorn… that’s math class
Welcome to the future of education. You’re going to want to sit upwind for this one.
