Incorporated in 1887, the City of Highwood is the highest spot between Milwaukee and Chicago. It is also well known as one of the best places to go for great food on the North Shore. Many of Highwood's homes were beautifully constructed by talented Italian stone and brick masons who settled in the area. Today, residents of many heritages enrich the community through their cultural traditions.
Highwood is the North Shore's destination for festivals, food & family fun! The beautiful Everts Park, in the heart of downtown Highwood, hosts many of Highwood's festivals including the weekly Evening Market, Garlic Fest, Bloody Mary Fest & more! The city is a small, family-oriented town that draws people from of all the surrounding suburbs to dine, drink, shop and be entertained. Highwood is on the Metra line, offers wonderful restaurants and bars, bike trails and parks (some right on Lake Michigan), great Highland Park schools, and a long tradition of community spirit.
Celebrate Highwood is a collaboration between the City of Highwood, Highwood Chamber of Commerce and the Highwood Historical Society. It is the mission of the Celebrate Highwood Committee to provide a platform for the City of Highwood, the Highwood Chamber of Commerce and the Highwood Historical Society to develop events that cater to the wants and needs of the citizens, commerce and visitors of Highwood.
Winnetka District 36 schools have a long tradition of progressive education and parental and community involvement. Ten years before the Village was incorporated in 1869, families in the town made private donations to finance the first public school. Today, children in District 36 attend one of three elementary schools (Crow Island, Greeley, and Hubbard Woods); a fifth/sixth grade center (The Skokie School); and a seventh/eighth grade middle school (Carleton Washburne School).
Award-winning New Trier Township High School delivers an academic program comprehensive in scope and providing the rigor of critical thought. Each department creates dynamic, relevant and challenging curricular offerings for students.
