Highland High School is a public high school located in southeast Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is part of the Albuquerque Public Schools District. Their mascot is Herbie the Hornet. The school mascot was named after a Naval ship, the USS Hornet. This leads to the school colors of navy blue and gold. The Navy also conducts a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps as an elective in the curriculum. Highland is the second oldest public high school in Albuquerque, but operates out of the oldest school building. Highland High School is the basis of the Highland High in Beavis and Butthead, as creator Mike Judge grew up in Albuquerque. [1]

Highland's We The People (Competition) team has won the state championship since 2000 (with the exception of 2005). The team is coached by Steve Seth and Bob Coffey. On December 9, 2006, the team claimed its fifth state championship. When they went on to Nationals, they came in 4th place in the nation in 2006. In April, 2007 the We The People team received the Mountain Plains Regional Championship in the National Finals. In December 2007, the We The People team clinched yet another state championship, an reached the National Finals in Washington D.C., where their Unit 2 was awarded a unit award. Highland High school is very diverse and has many foreign exchange students and every year has an amazing multicultural assembly. This assembly shows students different culture dances, singing. A number of movies and TV shows have been filmed at Highland including Doubting Thomas, and the pilot episode for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Highland is popular among producers due to the wonderful architecture of the main building, and due to the tax credits that the state of New Mexico has recently begun offering to movie producers.
