Highland Catholic

Welcome to Highland Catholic School!  

I am pleased that you found your way here.  Hopefully, this website will provide you with the flavor of this great school community.  We have tried to organize information for our school families, provide some nostalgia for our beloved alums and extend a warm invitation to those looking for just the right school for their child.

Located in Highland Park in the heart of Saint Paul, Minnesota, education begins in kindergarten and continues through eighth grade.  Our parish is Lumen Christi, where many of our students participate in parish activities.  It's a blessing to be part of such a vibrant and colorful community.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with a greeting from the past or to gather more information about this place.  I am happy to welcome you to an experience that is more than an education, Highland Catholic School.

Principal

Hi-Lites and News

Welcome to the start of the 2009-2010 school year!  This section of the website is replacing the Hi-lites that went home every Thursday.  We feel this is an easier way to reach people with the most up-to-date information and up-to-date information, news and student accomplishments happening around the school!  So please check back regularly as you will see many updates throughout the year!

Patrick O'Meara (9) was mentioned as "Sainted" "for helping his older brother, Conor, who has autism, write and deliver a speech for student council president at Randolph Heights Elementary School. 'There is a destiny that makes us brothers, no one goes his way alone; all that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.' - Edwin Markham"
Way to go Patrick!

Highland Catholic School is a Christ-centered community defined by it’s commitment to heartfelt Catholic teachings, academic excellence and educating every aspect of a child’s development.  It’s a place where everyone is welcome, and where not only the child is part of the school, but the entire family, as well.

The circle in the logo represents the very vital concept of community.  However, the circle is not closed - it is left open to imply the welcoming of people and ideas.  There are three circles, and these are representative of many things:  the Trinity; academics, religion and extra-curriculars; hope, faith, love; etc.  And all of these ideas revolve around Christ in the center.

In the center of the cross is a small swirl.  This is symbolic of resurrection as well as of the journey each student embarks on when they walk through the doors of Highland Catholic School.  

"Welcoming everyone in an experience that’s more than an education” is our motto.  We certainly believe it to be true.
