Opened 61 years ago in 1963, Highland was the second of the three traditional public high schools in Pocatello, and serves the northern portion of the school district, including portions of Pocatello, Chubbuck, and Tyhee. [6] [7] It was originally going to be called "Gate City", one of Pocatello's historical nicknames. Students voiced their dislike for the name and a vote was held, and the winning name was "Highland". [7] The campus is in an elevated area on Bench Road, northeast of the city center; the elevation is 4,740 ft (1,445 m) above sea level, about 270 feet (80 m) above rival Pocatello High.
There is another Highland High School in the state, at Craigmont in Lewis County in north central Idaho. A small school in Class 1A, it is usually distinguished by the name Highland-Craigmont to avoid confusion.
A catastrophic fire started at the school around 4 am on April 21, 2023; the extent and cause of the fire were not immediately known. The fire was fairly contained around the cafeteria area. A single building on the campus which housed the gymnasium, cafeteria, band, and choir rooms was deemed a total loss. Investigation later revealed that the fire originated near the north wall of the stage in the cafeteria, and as stated by Pocatello Fire Chief Ryan O'Hearn, the cause of the fire was "electrical in nature due to faulty equipment, and the fire was definitely ruled as accidental in nature."[ citation needed ]
Since its founding, Highland has been the rival of Pocatello High. [8] The "Black and Blue Bowl", the annual rivalry football game, received national attention across the years, most recently being named the best rivalry game in the state of Idaho in 2009 by ESPN. [8] The rivalry's intensity was expectedly diminished with the addition of the city's third high school, Century, which opened 25 years ago in 1999. [9]
Highland has three fight songs and the official one is the "Highland High School Fight Song." [10] The more commonly sung fight song is called "Loyalty," the lyrics to which are printed on the back of student activity cards. [10] The last is called "Ram Power," . [10]
Highland competes in athletics in IHSAA Class 5A, with the largest schools in the state. It is currently a member of the High Country Conference (5A), with Idaho Falls, Skyline, Hillcrest, and Madison. Intra-city rivals Pocatello and Century are in Class 4A; Pocatello was in the top classification until the arrival of Century in 1999. Highland's enrollment in 2011 was among the lowest in 5A. [11] [12] In its early years, Highland was a member of the Southern Idaho Conference, which spanned from Caldwell in the west to Idaho Falls in the east (the current SIC is limited to southwest Idaho, in both 5A and 4A).
Over its history, the Highland football program has been one of the best in the state and last won the 5A state championship in 2014. [13] [14] [15] The Rams have won a total of ten official state championships, the first in 1984. [16] Prior to the introduction of the A-1 (now 5A) playoffs in 1979, Highland won three unofficial state titles in the writers' poll, in 1972, [17] [18] 1973, [19] and 1976, [20] and were runners-up twice, in 1970 [21] and 1975, [22] [23] behind only undefeated Borah of Boise both years.
