Theme: Charged for Change

Dear Trailblazer Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Hightower Trail Elementary—home of the Trailblazers! I am thrilled to welcome back our returning families and warmly greet those joining us for the first time. As we prepare for an exciting year ahead, I want to thank you for your continued trust and partnership.

This year, our theme is Charged for Change—a reflection of the energy, focus, and resilience we bring to our shared mission. We are committed to building strong foundations in academics, nurturing student character, and providing every child with the tools to succeed in a rapidly evolving world.

Our dedicated faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing to ignite learning, support growth, and foster a safe and positive environment. You’ll notice a renewed emphasis on academic excellence, social-emotional learning, and student engagement. Together, we will charge forward, embracing innovation while holding fast to the values that ground us.

The strength of our school lies in the partnership between home and school. I encourage you to stay engaged, stay connected, and celebrate this journey with us. When families and educators work together, we create the strongest path for student success. Your support and presence matter more than ever—and we’re grateful to have you as part of our Trailblazer community.

As always, communication is key. Be sure to check ParentSquare regularly, follow us on social media, and stay connected to our school website for updates, announcements, and ways to get involved. You can now follow us on Instagram at @hightower_trail to stay up to date on all the exciting moments we’ll be sharing this year!

Let’s make this year one of our best yet. Together, we are truly Charged for Change!

With gratitude and Trailblazer pride,
Dr. Toi Sampson
Principal, Hightower Trail Elementary School
