Consolidation

In 1962, the school districts in Craigmont, Winchester, and Reubens were consolidated into the new Highland Joint School District. The new name of Craigmont High and the mascot were selected by the student body. The former mascots were Craigmont Cougars, Winchester Loggers, and Reubens Demons. The current campus was constructed ten years earlier, in 1952.
