Port and Hands said that as a result, a program was established in which recent Highlands graduates visit the school over their winter break and give accounts of campus life and academics. Hands said the district will implement an intramural sports program with activities such as basketball, soccer, pingpong, and skills programs in football and basketball. Hands said the plan, still in its infancy, would include the hiring of directors for the boys and girls programs. Port supports the pool and ice rink that would be constructed at the school at no cost to taxpayers. Port said both would generate some profit for the school.
Port supports developing new curricula, especially in math and science.
Port said the district is also preparing its long-range facility plan and the board will be looking at upgrading the biology, physics, and chemistry laboratory facilities.
