Highland is connected to Highland Park Junior High School, a 1958 Miesian building.

Mattocks Schoolhouse is a historic landmark now used as part of Highland Park's facilities. The one room limestone building, originally called Webster School Number 9, was built in 1871. The building became part of the Saint Paul Public Schools system in 1887 and was renamed at that time. For thirty years the building served as an American Legion post before being moved to its current location in 1964 after residing one mile north of the high school. The classroom has most recently been used for Spanish classes.[6][7][8] Mattocks Schoolhouse is "essentially a Greek Revival building with some Italianate details."[9][10]
