Our History & Constitution

Founding




















Highland Christian School was founded in 1909. Ridge Road was a rutted dirt wagon path.

Transportation


Transportation of Highland students to the Munster Christian School (later Lansing Christian School) was accomplished with a horse drawn enclosed wagon for the 1907 and 1908 school years.

Incorporated

In the 1909 school year, the Highland Christian School board filed for incorporation and Highland Christian School was formally incorporated on January 10, 1910 as The Association for Christian Instruction at Highland. This is still our legal name.

First Building

The first building occupied by Highland Christian School was a wooden church structure that was converted to school use. It was located on Jewett Street.

Highway Avenue Building

The first purpose built school was a four room, two story brick structure on Highway Avenue at the location where the Calumet National Bank now stands.

Current Building

The current property was acquired after WWII and the first building at this site was occupied in February of 1951.

2023 Building Expansion


















In May 2022, our 2023 Expansion Plan was unanimously approved at our Annual Society Meeting! In the summer of 2023, a new wing was added to our west end of our building, to accommodate our enrollment growth.

The stated purpose of Highland Christian School was (and is):

…to maintain and conduct a private school for the purpose of instruction in all branches of study taught in the common schools of the State of Indiana, and any other branches of study that may be deemed advisable to be taught by the Board of Directors of this association, and to give this instruction according to the Calvinist Principles of the tenets of the Christian Reformed Church ….

Highland Christian School has remained dedicated to its stated purpose and continues to provide a quality Christian education for families in our community.
