About Us

Hightower Elementary School first opened its doors in 1958. The school has grown in many ways since that time. Our student population has grown along with its wonderful diversity. Hightower comprises over 30 different nationalities and we are well known for our ability to embrace and celebrate that diversity in all that we do. Although we have many different backgrounds, as a school, we rally around one motto:
 
The mission of Hightower Elementary School is to provide a standards-based instructional environment grounded in integration of curricular content, and writing across the curriculum to promote seamless learning opportunities that increase student achievement and ensure that students transition to middle school without the need for remediation.
