Here’s your chance to let them know with a note of thanks, a homemade treat or any “special something.”

Become a Teacher: If the Lord is prompting you to invest your talents, interests or abilities at High Country, please consider joining our teaching staff. No teaching degree required, only a heart to serve! Please contact Kristin at classdirector@hche.org for more information.

Called to Serve: Whether it be in a staff position, a Vital Partner or Registration volunteer, please consider serving the families of High Country. We have many positions to fill before the end of the semester. For more information about staff and vital partner positions, click HERE.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR GRADUATING HCCA SENIOR PARENTS you need to contact Julie Blank (academydirector@hche.org) ASAP if your student(s) will be graduating this school year. HCCA administration must approve each student who is planning to graduate. Our graduation ceremony is set for May 16, 2025.

GOOD TO KNOW Did you know that your curriculum plan is very important? Your plan serves as a compass, giving you a steady, organized plan for the school year. By following the curriculum plan, students make progress from quarter to quarter. This is why HCCA requires a detailed curriculum plan each year, as well as detailed information on your quarterly report. This is extremely important in high school, no matter what your child’s plans are in the future. If you have questions about your plan or curriculum in general, please contact us.

HCCA REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN Remember to enroll in HCHE membership first. You can access the membership form HERE. Returning families may log into their Parent Portal to register after becoming a member. New families may request an account by clicking HERE.
