Definitely a trip to remember! 🏡🌾

Another great season of softball in the books — finishing 8-3! Unfortunately, it was cut a bit short due to rain and some scheduling challenges. These girls worked incredibly hard all season. With no seniors on the roster, the future is looking bright for Highland Softball!

Huge shoutout to the Highland Rams baseball team! They finished 2nd in the Pioneer District regular season—the first time Highland has placed in the top two in 25 years! With a high school enrollment of just 36 students, and the next smallest school having more than three times that number, being competitive in a sport that requires 9 players on the field is no small feat. This season is a true testament to the heart, talent, and determination of this incredible group of boys. Way to go, Rams!
