Meet Your 2026-2027 Executive Board
Behind every event, fundraiser, volunteer opportunity, and school tradition is a team of parent volunteers working alongside Highcrest staff to build an outstanding middle school experience. We are excited to serve our Highcrest community this year and invite every family to get involved, whether you have one hour or one great idea to give!
