Highland Hornets Football
Developing young men through discipline, accountability, brotherhood, and competition—on the field, in the classroom, and across our community.
Our Program
Built for more than Friday night
Highland Football proudly represents our school, families, alumni, and Albuquerque community. We believe football can teach young people how to work, lead, respond to adversity, and become part of something larger than themselves.
Our goal is to build competitive teams while creating an environment where student-athletes are challenged, supported, and prepared for life beyond the field.
