Highland, KS

With around 900 residents, Highland offers the peace of rural living paired with the energy of a classic college town. It is home to Highland Community College, the oldest college in Kansas, which brings athletic games, arts performances, and campus events to the community year-round. Having the college right in town gives residents access to activities and resources rarely found in a town this size.

Outside of campus, daily life is centered around family, community, and the scenic northeast Kansas countryside. Local students attend Doniphan West Junior-Senior High right in town, creating a close-knit school environment. For outdoor recreation, you are only minutes from great fishing, hunting, and boating near the Missouri River bluffs. Whenever you need bigger-city shopping or dining, St. Joseph, Missouri, is an easy drive down the road.
