Welcome!

We are the parent organization that supports the Fine Arts programs at Highland High School in Riverside, Iowa.

What do we do?

Connect volunteers with opportunities to help out
Fundraising. A lot of fundraising. 🙂
We pay for Fine Arts expenses above and beyond what the district provides, which transforms a regular school program into an Excellent School Program!
- Enrollment fees and costs for competitions and camps
- Cleaning marching band uniforms
- Senior banners
- Theatrical production costs
- etc.
We also help a separate organization fundraise for class trips, which happen every other year. (2025-2026 Disney World!)

Encourage students to participate in the Highland Fine Arts! Currently includes, but not limited to:
- Band and Jazz Band
- Choir
- Speech
- Drama and Musical
- Art and Art Club
Attend the Highland Fine Arts events.
