Highwoods is pleased to announce that we are a founding corporate sponsor of a work-study program at Cristo Rey Research Triangle High School. Beginning this week, a team of four students will rotate individual days of work with Highwoods in a defined job primarily working with the Customer Service team. On the days the students are not working with us, they will dedicate their time to a college preparatory curriculum at school.
