Welcome to Highlands High School

Home of the Mighty Owls

Highlands High School is the premier school of the Southeast Side of San Antonio featuring strong academics, engaging career preparation, and award-winning student activities. We are a school with tremendous pride and a long legacy of success. Our new Highlands P-TECH for Aerospace, Engineering, Manufacturing and Welding combines the academic opportunity of an Early College with the technical skill and job outlook of a vocational or trade school. Mighty Owls can join a number of successful extra-curricular programs including athletics, JROTC, National Honor Society, and an incredible fine arts program (brigade/dance/cheer, band, mariachi, choir, orchestra, art, and theatre art). Highlands High School is YOUR neighborhood school and we can’t wait to welcome you to the Owl Nation.

Dr. Penny Pruitt is honored to serve as the principal at Highlands High School.  Dr. Pruitt is beginning her 29th year in education, and she is excited to have the students returning to in-person learning this year.  She looks forward to guiding the campus in the upward trend of academic growth that began prior to COVID.  She believes that increasing opportunities for all students to have access to rigorous courses, maintaining an instruction-driven focus at the campus, and preparing students for post-secondary life is the key to success.  In order to achieve this,  Dr. Pruitt believes that building relationships with students and their families is essential.
