Located on the Camas Prairie in rural Lewis County in the north central part of the state, it is often referred to as "Highland-Craigmont" to distinguish it from the larger and later established Highland High School in Pocatello.

The school colors are black and gold and the mascot is Harold the husky.

In addition to Craigmont, the school district draws from Reubens, Winchester, and Melrose.

The former mascots were Craigmont Cougars, Winchester Loggers, and Reubens Demons.

[9] The Highland Huskies compete in athletics in IHSAA Class 1A Division II (formerly A-4) in the White Pine League.
