Hightower Trail Elementary School
My little girl has been going to hightower for two years now and she loves going to school everyday. I have no worries about her education, because all the teachers and staff strive in the best for their students. I couldn't ask for a better school for her.

Lisa Samples: This is my son's first year (as a 2nd grader) and he loves the school. The parent-teacher coordinator is very involved and reaches out to parents both via email and phone on a regular basis. This school uses a lot of online tools too.

my son has been going to HTE since Kindergarten and we are in love with this school! Mrs. Bates the principal is awesome and the programs that they have for the students are wonderful. Every year they have project night, even for the kindergarteners, but the kids beam to show off their hard work.
