Highlands Middle School is located at 1850 West Plainfield Road, La Grange Highlands, Illinois, United States.

Our theme, "We All Smile in the Same Language," highlights the unity and pride in our community. The posters created by our students will be displayed in the school, showcasing the rich diversity and fostering a sense of belonging among our students. In addition to celebrating our students' multilingual backgrounds, we also focus on academic excellence. Our 7th grade students recently conducted a lab on Crash Test Dummies, applying Newton's First Law of Motion. Through this hands-on experiment, students learned about mass, acceleration, speed, and even engineered safety harnesses. This real-life application of science concepts helps students develop important skills and understand the importance of safety measures like wearing seat belts.
