Highland Live is a new advisory that was brought to Highland this year. The advisors are Ms. Summerville and Mr. Gullickson. I am a member and have done a lot of different things for the advisory. My whole friend group is a part of it, and there are around 25 of us in the advisory. Every person has a different job, for example, some people run the cameras, some people interview students at Highland, and some people run the games. There are a lot of different things you can do to help.

Our whole goal is to get people to participate in more activities during advisory. Every Tuesday we go live on Youtube and every advisory in the school watches it. We have games like Name That Tune, Family Feud, and Hungry Hippos. Students from advisories can sign up and then will come down on Tuesday to play the games. We also want to keep people informed of things happening within the school, so oftentimes important games for sports teams and club meetings are shared. We also interview the captains or members of the team/club and ask them to share important dates and information about them to hopefully draw more students in.

Another section we have during the live show is the weather. The weather is run by Will, Charlie, and Arthur who call themselves the “Weather Boys”. They share the forecast throughout the week and what to expect. This is a very loved section as it is pretty funny.

Another popular section is the trivia section. We have done normal trivia as well as Family Feud. Myself and others have helped in running this section many times. It is very popular because the questions are often based on what is happening in the community or the world. For example, this past week we did questions about Thanksgiving because it is coming up. We try to mix things up every week with different games and different people, hoping to keep things interesting.

Highland Live is a fun and exciting new addition to life at Highland, and a lot of effort is put into running it by the students but especially by the advisors. Ms. Summerville and Mr. Gullickson work hard to run this and make things successful. If you have the opportunity to partake in Highland Live please sign up. It is so fun, and the more the merrier!
