Highlands Is Open as We Pursue an Orderly Reorganization Keeping our promise to students while building a path forward Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools

Moments after Twin Rivers Unified School District board voted to revoke both of Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools’ charters Tuesday night, Executive Director Jonathan Raymond slipped out the door to a nearby conference room to address around 100 students and alumni of the school.
