Hello Highlands Bulldog Families,  

My name is Rhonda Russell –Henderson and it is an honor and pleasure to serve as your new proud principal of Highlands. I am excited about starting the 2022-23 school year. 

I bring to Highlands over twenty years of educational experience, working in various roles from teacher, literacy coach, and assistant principal. I am committed to serving the community and to providing a safe, secure, and healthy environment in which all of our students are provided rigorous instruction to help them achieve their full academic and social-emotional potential.  

I am committed to developing relationships with my students, parents, and guardians. I strongly believe that it is essential for families and school staff to work together and share responsibility for student success. It is key that we are in communication with one another about your child’s progress in the classroom. I look forward to working with you to ensure that all of our children have a successful academic career here at Highlands Elementary School. 

Please feel free to contact me with any comments, questions, or suggestions via email at rhhenderson@phsd144.net  or phone at (708) 335-9773.  You are an essential component to a successful school, and I thank you in advance for your continued dedication to our children and to our school.  

Educationally Yours, 

Ms. Rhonda Russell-Henderson, M.Ed
