My name is Kim Wilson. I am the President for the PTO, having also served as the Communications Director and on the site council before that. I'm also lucky enough to work at Highland, having previously been a high school teacher. Our family immigrated from New Zealand in 2014. We are parents to one Highland student - Ivy (3rd) and two Highland graduates Theo (8th) and Harry (6th). Our family can be found with either our heads in books or outside adventuring. I'm excited to be a part of supporting such a great school!
Hi, I'm Kyle Thompson, Vice President of your Highland PTO. I've served for over a year and helped organize the 2023 Color Run. I sit on a District 196 Council as well. My wife Jessica and I have a 3nd grader and a Kindergartener at Highland. I look forward to the growth, challenges and successes ahead! Go Scotties!
My name is Nate Simms. I am the current Treasurer for Highland Elementary PTO. I have served on the Highland Site Council for 2 yrs, one of which was in the role of Parent Leader. I also serve on the School District committees of the Superintendent Parent Leader Forum as well as the Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council. My family moved to Minnesota 5 yrs ago by way of Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, and South Carolina. My daughter, Morgan, will be going into 6th grade this year as I finish my term.
My name is Kaitlin Graff, and I’m the Secretary of the PTO. This is my second term in this role and our family is thrilled to be a part of this incredible community. It really is special at Highland. We have three kids- Ryland (8th), Braeden (5th) and Amelia (2nd). It's a joy to be a part of this group and to serve Highland however we can!
My name is Coral Karsky and I am thrilled to serve as Communications Officer for the Highland PTO. My husband, Andy, and I have three boys, two of whom attend Highland. We love being a part of the Highland community and you may find me as a substitute teacher, field trip chaperone, or in some other volunteer role at school. I am so happy to have this additional way to serve on the PTO Board.
