What an exciting day as we celebrated the groundbreaking for the new Highland Elementary School this week!

This project represents a significant investment in the future of our students, educators, and community. We were honored to celebrate this milestone alongside the Highland Elementary team, Daviess County Public Schools, community leaders, and everyone who helped make this vision a reality.

We can't wait to watch the future home of the Highland Hornets take shape and look forward to the many students who will learn, grow, and thrive there for years to come.

Congratulations on this exciting new chapter!
