History of Highland

When this fine school was to open its doors in 1963, its name was to be Gate City High School since Pocatello is known as the Gate City to the West.  The students who were to attend this school voiced a dislike for the chosen name.  The school board of District #25 agreed to allow the student body of this new school to vote upon a name.  After several suggestions, including Harriman High School, Alameda High School, and of course Highland High School, the latter name was selected.  Highland High School came into existence.  The next step was the selecting of school colors and a mascot.  Black and white, symbolizing power with peace, were chosen.  Picking a mascot proved even easier.  What was a symbol of power and authority which would be comfortable in the highlands?  Why, the Mighty Ram, of course.  Later, the Lassies and Scotties were added to Highland’s traditions, and the school eventually evolved to the mighty institution it is today.

Highland’s history has been a continuous story of success.  Since Highland's opening in 1963, the fighting Rams have been state champions in virtually every athletic endeavor imaginable.  HHS’s academic record is outstanding as well, as many students receive awards and scholarships from sources in the community and beyond.  Highland’s student body has pride in its school, and this spirit is what makes this school upon the hill a place respected by all who know its history.  Any student, past or present, should be proud to call themselves a Highland Ram.
