HIGHLAND SCHOOL ALUMNI & STAFF REUNION ON 24TH MAY 2025
On the 24th of May 2025, over 35 Highland School alumni and more than 30 staff members came
together for a memorable day of commemoration, reflection, and reunion during which a series of
meaningful activities took place.
The different activities that took place include:
1. VISIT TO NYAMATA GENOCIDE MEMORIAL SITE
The day began with a visit to the Nyamata Genocide Memorial Site, where staff and alumni paid their
respects to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
This moment was deeply emotional and
offered us a chance for remembrance, learning, and honoring the past. We were reminded of the resilience
of the Rwandan people and the importance of unity, peace, and reconciliation.
2. VISIT TO THE FORMER HIGHLAND SCHOOL LOCATION
After the memorial visit, we proceeded to the former location of Highland School, the foundation of many
of our cherished memories. When we got there, Aunt Sandra shared stories about the early days of the
school, its humble beginnings, and the spirit that kept it alive. This visit reinforced in us the pride of being part of Highland’s rich history.
