Highland School is a public school in Craigmont, Idaho,[5] the only school in the Highland Joint School District #305. Located on the Camas Prairie in rural Lewis County in the north central part of the state, it is often referred to as "Highland-Craigmont" to distinguish it from the larger and later established Highland High School in Pocatello. The school colors are black and gold and the mascot is Harold the husky.

In addition to Craigmont, the school district draws from Reubens, Winchester, and Melrose.[7]

Consolidation[edit]

In 1962, the school districts in Craigmont, Winchester, and Reubens were consolidated into the new Highland Joint School District.[8] The new name of Craigmont High and the mascot were selected by the student body. The former mascots were Craigmont Cougars, Winchester Loggers, and Reubens Demons.[6] The current campus was constructed ten years earlier, in 1952.[9]

Athletics[edit]

The Highland Huskies compete in athletics in IHSAA Class 1A Division II (formerly A-4) in the White Pine League.
