It's a fact of life. A businessman whose four children attended Highland warned that bricks and mortar must not dominate the school's focus. Broad Run resident William A. Hazel asked in his keynote address Friday. Without the continuing emphasis on a quality educational program, Highland School will only be another little private school. Highland School now has the core facilities, including what we see around us, plus, the big ingredient, a dedicated faculty, which should demand more academic excellence.
Academic excellence is how the young are being challenged.
The addition should open next January, according to Mr. Doeller. In the future, Highland hopes to add art and music rooms, a cafeteria, an auditorium and, if it develops community partnerships, an indoor swimming pool, Mr. Plank said.
