enrichment Information

Welcome to the Spring 2026 Semester.

Welcome back to High Country! I hope you all enjoyed a joyous holiday season as we celebrated Jesus’s birth and how much He loves us. I am excited to get back to seeing you all onsite for classes and at our upcoming events. Below you will find lots of ways to connect with one another. This community has been a blessing to my family, and I pray that it will be the same for yours. We want to connect with you! Please stay after class and have lunch with us in the cafe or playground. This community is full of encouraging people, and we want you to join right in. I look forward to a great semester with you all.

Playground Safety: Playground gates are EXIT only. For the safety of all attending HC, we need to enter the SOUTH entrance only. The playground should be entered from the main hallway in the building, and then you are welcome to exit the playground gate as you leave for the day. Parents are responsible for monitoring their own children. We have many restaurants, busy streets, and I-25 right near us. Please help us maintain good safety standards.

Thank you for your cooperation!
