Discover the artistic talents of our school community
We are among phenomenal artists at Highlands School!
What is the culinary arts cook-off?
It's a friendly competition of professional chefs and amateur "chefs" from local restaurants and kitchens doing what they do best – create amazing food! Competitors are given a theme – this year is the Cookie-off Edition – and the challenge is to create a cookie creation that outshines all others.
4 Awards to be won: Kids' Choice, Judges' Choice, People's Choice, and Most Unique.

Thank you for your support!
Without the support of people like you, our community, and the generous commitment of local restaurants and businesses, our event wouldn’t be one of the most successful school fundraisers in the city. This event is our main fundraiser with all proceeds going to fund activities and events integral to our Arts Core Programming. We are humbled and ever grateful for your enormous show of support.
Many, many thanks and appreciation from the bottom of our hearts!
