Jennifer Davis, herself a 1995 graduate of Highland Park High School, was emotional while walking her daughter to University Park Elementary School on Aug. 14.
“We’re just so proud to be a second-generation Highland Park,” Davis said. “And it’s bringing tears to my eyes.”
Davis Long, the elementary scholar, added with just a little prompting from mom that she is “Proud to be a Scot.”
Parents walked their kids into University Park Elementary and took lots of pictures to commemorate the first day. Kids posed with ‘welcome back’ signs, a balloon booth, and a costumed panther as bagpipes welcomed them back for the semester.
Seniors at Highland Park High School were greeted with a “First Last Day” celebration before returning to school. Balloons, doughnuts, and flags greeted the outgoing class before they posed to have their picture taken.
