“When I began Highland Park High School in the fall of 1981, I noticed right away an intense emotion shared by all the students, a sentiment known as ‘Scot Pride.’  Academically, our school was one of the best in the nation, and our athletics programs were among the best in the state.  Students at Highland Park knew their school was a place of tradition, excellence, and success,” said Tracey Taylor Frattaroli, HPHS class of 1985, of her beloved Alma Matter.  But in 1983, there were many girls like Tracey that yearned to belong to something that was missing in the halls of Highland Park.  These girls would eventually become the charter members of the Highland Belles.
