11. What makes THS different?
Commitment to mission, commitment to students. . .
The mission of the school is to be an apostle of Christ. We are here to get a good Catholic education and to serve God. Also, the mission is to grow in our hearts. We all should be able to develop our characters and our individuality. The Consecrated are there to guide us and mentor us to achieve these missions
Compared to other schools, teachers at THS pay a crazy amount of attention to the individual. It’s not because of their salaries that they spend hours trying to teach, form, and help you figure out how to be the person you want. It can get to be too much sometimes, but it really is a gift.
The teachers here will end up teaching you more than you expect. They have taught me how to be a better leader, student, and friend.

12. What makes THS different?
THS Students are. . . FAMILY
We are a family. Everyone has your back.
It’s a family, not just a school.
THS community is very welcoming and like a family.
THS focuses on God more than any other school in the Diocese. It’s more than just a school, it’s a family.
You are surrounded by a family that wants the best for you.
The Highlands is a family, a family who will love you no matter what you do, despite all of your mistakes and ugly days.
I am proud to say that I attended The Highlands, and I am proud to call everyone here my family.
