Across the district, these students showed off their skills in public speaking, teamwork, and agricultural knowledge, earning top spots in these competitive events. 

Highland High School had an incredible showing, ranking first place in multiple events, such as Creed Speaking, Agriscience Fair, and Agricultural Education. Their Agricultural Issues Forum placed second overall and third place in Marketing Plan. On top of that, Highland students posted strong finishes in other events, such as Discussion Meet and Extemporaneous Speaking, demonstrating the program's hard work and dedication.
