On January 13, Business Teacher and Student Council Adviser Elise Carter announced that the annual Highlands High School Winter Ball has been postponed until further notice due to the spread of COVID-19. 

“Due to the current spike in the Omicron variant, it is our desire to keep all students and faculty safe and healthy,” said Carter. 

The Winter Ball was scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 5, however, there is no current rescheduled date. 

Parents and students will be notified in advance if HHS will be able to reschedule this event before the end of the 2021-2022 school year if there is a new date and time decided.
