Welcome To McCulloch Intermediate School and Highland Park Middle School

Located on the historic site of the original Highland Park High School, which opened in 1922, the McCulloch Intermediate School and Highland Park Middle School campus has been a cornerstone of HPISD for generations. In 1995, following voter approval of a bond election, the district opened a new shared campus designed to serve students in grades 5–8, with McCulloch Intermediate School serving grades 5 and 6 and Highland Park Middle School serving grades 7 and 8.

Today, MIS and HPMS continue a long-standing tradition of academic excellence, leadership, and student success. Together, the schools provide a supportive and engaging environment where students build the skills, character, and confidence needed for high school and beyond.

Our Mission

McCulloch Intermediate School and Highland Park Middle School is a partnership of students, educators, families, and the community committed to providing an exceptional educational experience that supports the academic, social, and personal growth of every learner. We inspire students to think critically, lead with integrity, serve others, and pursue excellence in the classroom and beyond.

Our Vision

Our vision is to develop creative, curious, and independent thinkers who pursue excellence in academics, demonstrate integrity and leadership, respect and celebrate diverse perspectives, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and are prepared for future academic and personal success.
