It has one high school, one middle school, one Catholic elementary school, and four public elementary schools (formerly six). The area where one of the now-defunct schools once stood was marked by a gazebo, which was demolished in October 2006. It and the surounding grass and playground is named Main Square Park, after Highland Main School which stood on the site until the early 1970s. The other defunct school, Lincoln Elementary, was converted into a community center in the early 1980s. Highland is a southeastern suburb of Chicago, Illinois.

In 1847, two pioneers, Micheal and Judith Johnston, became Highland's first settlers(Judith Johnston Elementary School is named in her honor). The current area of the town was nearly completely submerged, save for a large sandy ridge. The name "Highland" developed from this feature. Today, Ridge Road runs along that strip of land.

The town slowly expanded until 1880, when the arriving railroad brought Dutch settlers.

304 people resided in Highland when it was incorporated in 1910.
