Highlander Connections (HSX)

We are excited to welcome you into our Highlander community and to launch our Highlander Summer Connections (HSX) program. The HSX program is designed to build community for the coming school year, connecting new students with returning students, as well as other new students, through a variety of virtual events.

Many of our students refer to The Frederick Gunn School as their second home. We are confident that our HSX program will help ease the transition to your new school environment and help you to quickly feel at home here. We know that you will bring so much to our community and make it even stronger. We look forward to connecting with you soon.
