The Highlands Elementary School
Mission Statement
The mission of Highlands Elementary School is to
provide a safe environment for the study of a challenging
and balanced curriculum which will enable students to
become independent and critical thinkers. We expect that all
students will achieve the New Jersey Student
Learning Standards at all grade levels. Opportunities will be
provided for students to develop self-esteem, social values,
and the motivation needed to continue individual growth
while also developing a respect for cultural differences. This
mission requires an active and responsible partnership of
students, staff, community, and school board
