    "At New Highland Academy, I feel that I can be truly creative and analytical in my work as a teacher. I am inspired by everyone around me- my students, other teachers, and our families. It is essential to know that the teachers at our school are true activists for social change. We have a strong bond and work very collaboratively together to bring the best possible experiences to our students. It feels like a true community here."
