As a diverse learning community our vision is to develop the whole child socially, emotionally, creatively, civically and academically to realize one’s talents and to have confidence in pursuing one’s goals in college and/or career.

The mission of Highlandtown Elementary/Middle School #215 is to provide the whole child with cooperative, artistic, rigorous, culturally relevant and developmentally appropriate academic experiences. This mission will be accomplished through a shared decision-making process that involves all key stakeholders within our diverse learning community..
