Why Highland homes need a local read

Highland incorporated in 1998 and is the fourth-largest city in Sharp County, with its school district serving Ash Flat, Hardy, Highland and Cherokee Village.

Housing: The city grew from a school site after the 1962 school consolidation; Highland High School was completed in 1964 and Cherokee Elementary opened in 1971.

Around town: U.S. Highway 62, built in the 1920s, runs through the city, and the Cherokee Village retirement community lies to the north.

Setting: Highland sits on a ridge at about 610 feet, and the name probably comes from that ridge between two lower areas.

Questions

Common questions.

Which school district serves Highland?

The Highland School District serves Ash Flat, Hardy, Highland and Cherokee Village.

How did Highland get started?

It began as a school site. When the Ash Flat and Hardy school districts merged in 1962, the new high school was built between the two towns, and that spot is now Highland.

What severe weather has hit Highland?

A tornado on February 5, 2008, destroyed many homes and businesses in Highland. No lives were lost.

Why is it called Highland?

The name likely reflects the town's spot on a ridge between two lower areas.

Why is mold such a concern in Arkansas homes?

Arkansas has hot, humid summers. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals put Little Rock's average yearly precipitation at about 50 inches and its July average temperature at about 81 F. EPA advises keeping indoor humidity below 60 percent, ideally 30 to 50 percent. Warm, damp air is why moisture problems show up in Arkansas attics, crawlspaces and bathrooms.
