Arts Integration
Highland Arts Elementary is dedicated to an arts integrated curriculum. Our school is the "arts school of choice" for Mesa Unified School District. We believe that thinking like an artist allows students to engage fully in the learning process, explore knowledge and feelings through the arts, and become a confident capable citizen.
