HPES 5th grade enjoying some movement to rhythms on a beautiful morning. Music increasing became faster and students changed directions at a particular beat. Great lesson for movement and music.

🌟Today we celebrate Custodian Appreciation Day!

At High Point Elementary, our custodians do so much more than keep our school clean -- they create safe, welcoming spaces where students can learn, grow, and thrive. From early mornings to late evenings, their hard work and dedication make a difference every single day.

Thank you to our amazing High Point custodial team -- you are truly the heart of our school!
