Highland Creek Elementary School
I love my son's school. He is in Kindergarten, therefore this is our first year with the school. I have loved every bit of it so far. It seems to have a wonderful PTA and support of the staff and students. My son has a great time there and loves his teachers and friends. There have been many events and lots of fun days for him (wacky hair day, school spirit day, bring your buddy to school, hat day, etc...). He loves the rewards he receives for good behavior and it motivates him to work harder. He has already learned so much in such a short amount of time. I am truly pleased with the school as a whole.
