High Point Elementary's custodian, Adam Glasscock is going above the call of duty! When the school was short-staffed, Adam stepped up without hesitation -- taking on extra shifts and keeping High Point shining!

Kodee was recently honored as a Hometown Hero after performing the Heimlich maneuver on a student who began choking during lunch. Thanks to Kodee’s quick action, the student is safe and well.

Great night of music and movement at HPES. Big thank you to our school board who continue to support the music and arts programs in WCS.
4th grade cardio drumming had families moving and grooving in their seats to music across the decades.
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.
