“This is an exciting opportunity to lead a team of dedicated educators and support staff in providing an excellent educational experience for Highland students,” said Goldsmith. “I am committed to fostering a positive learning environment that encourages academic excellence. I look forward to starting this new chapter and making a positive impact on our school community.”
