About Highlands Elementary School:

In the mid-1950s, housing development began in the foothills at the north end of Harrison Boulevard.  There were expensive houses going up in what was known as Slaughterhouse Gulch.  In earlier times there was a slaughterhouse located in the area of the first development of the Highlands, thus the name Slaughterhouse Gulch.

Children from the area were bused to Campus School and then to Central School until the Highlands school opened in 1961-62. Like most schools built during this period of time, it has a flat roof, twelve classrooms, a library, an office area and a multi-purpose room.

Highlands is located near the Fallout Shelter which was built in the 1950s during the cold war.  The structure is now vacant.
