Drive through Highland on any given day during the spring, summer or fall and you will hear sounds that truly reflect the quality
of life that people in the community have learned to enjoy and respect.
That sound might be the laughing and playing of children, the shouts of joy and encouragement of their parents
or a combination of the two.
