March Update
As Highline’s fiber build season approaches, we are poised to extend our reach beyond the 7,000 homes and businesses currently connected across the Upper Peninsula and Thumb in 2025. This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering world-class connectivity to the regions we serve. In March, our COO Bruce Moore traveled to Washington, DC with Highline's CEO, Rob Mills, to provide our federal legislators with a comprehensive update on Highline’s progress since our inception in 2021. We engaged with the offices of Senators Peters and Slotkin, Representative McClain’s team, and Representative Bergman—known as “the General”—to discuss the transformative impact Highline’s fiber internet has brought to their constituents’ communities.

Sharon Minard: Highline’s Heartwarming Hometown Hero!
For the past few months, we’ve spotlighted local businesses, but this time, we’re shining the light on an extraordinary community member—and proud Highline customer—Sharon Minard.
Some folks just radiate goodness, making the world a little brighter with every step. Sharon’s one of those rare gems, where kindness isn’t just an act—it’s her very essence.
For nearly 40 years, Sharon has been a rock at Sheldon Medical Supply while teaming up with her husband to run their farm. At work, she’s the “mom” everyone dreams of having—checking in when someone’s down, cheering every win (big or small), and dishing out just the right dose of encouragement exactly when it’s needed. But her magic doesn’t punch out at the end of the day. For Sharon, caring isn’t a job—it’s who she is, woven into every fiber of her being. Her kindness isn’t flashy, but it’s mighty. It turns rough days around and leaves a lasting mark on lives.
Sharon Minard doesn’t just live—she sprinkles warmth and goodness everywhere she goes, touching hearts with quiet, unstoppable grace. We’re proud to call her part of the Highline family!

TEACHERS OF THE MONTH
Central UP: Kaitlyn Hardwick, Rapid River Elementary School
We’re thrilled to celebrate Kaitlyn Hardwick as C.U.P.’s Teacher of the Month for March! Kaitlyn is making waves in her first-year teaching 5th grade at Rapid River Elementary, where she brings passion and creativity to her social studies and science classrooms.
One of Kaitlyn’s favorite parts of teaching is building connections with her students through daily conversations. This March, for Reading Month’s “around-the-world” theme, her class is crafting vibrant paper lanterns, and a stunning dragon display for the hallway. In science, her students are raising salmon, eagerly awaiting the day they’ll release them at an approved site in Clear Lake—a hands-on lesson they’ll never forget!
Beyond the classroom, Kaitlyn is a powerhouse, coaching Varsity Volleyball and JV Basketball at Gladstone Schools. When she’s not inspiring students or leading teams, you’ll find her snowboarding, enjoying the outdoors, or hanging out with her dog Bruno, family, and friends. A huge congratulations to Kaitlyn on her recent engagement to Jared Crow!
Kaitlyn has wise words for fellow first-year teachers: “Although your first year can be hard, stick with it and remember you’re not in it for the money; it’s because you love what you do!”
Join us in giving a heartfelt “Thank You” to all teachers, and a special shout-out to Ms. Kaitlyn Hardwick for her incredible dedication to her students!
Eastern UP: Carly Dubay, Engadine Consolidated Schools
Carly’s journey to teaching is anything but ordinary. She originally set her sights on becoming a veterinarian, starting her college career in the Caribbean. But when Covid hit, she was sent back to the U.S., shifting to online schooling—and that’s when everything changed. A job posting for a high school science teacher in Newberry caught her eye. She landed the role, dove into teaching, and began pursuing her master’s in education online at the University of Phoenix, which she’ll proudly complete this fall.
After two years in Newberry, Carly took on a new challenge as the 7th–12th grade science teacher at Engadine Consolidated Schools. Beyond the classroom, she’s a driving force behind the Techno Talons Robotics team, sparking innovation among her students.
Carly’s mission goes beyond textbooks: she’s passionate about teaching life skills and showing students how science connects to their everyday lives. Her favorite moments? “Seeing the students make connections between science and real life and realizing that they actually enjoy science.” she says. Her goal is to leave a lasting impact that extends far beyond their school years.
Outside of teaching, Carly is a busy mom to two little ones—a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter and a five-month-old son. When she carves out time for herself, she’s in her element barrel racing, competing and serving as a director for the Upper Peninsula district of the National Barrel Horse Association.
In the short time I spent with Carly, her love for her students and community shone through. She’s shaping young minds with creativity and care, and we’re so grateful for her dedication. Congratulations, Carly, on being our Teacher of the Month—you’re truly making a difference!

Employee Spotlight:
Jeff Sacheck, Network Technician II
Meet Jeff, our rockstar Network Technician II, who’s been crushing it at Highline for three awesome years! His day kicks off with a check of the installation schedule, followed by a quick chat with customers to lock in the perfect time for their fiber hookup. Then, he maps out his route like a pro, maximizing efficiency to bring lightning-fast internet to as many homes as possible. When Jeff rolls up to a customer’s place, he teams up with the homeowner to craft a plan—figuring out the best way to run fiber inside and pinpointing the prime spot for their Wi-Fi 6 Router.
He keeps them in the loop every step of the way, and before he jets off, Jeff makes sure every device is hooked up and humming with Highline’s top-tier service. Nothing beats the grin on a customer’s face when they see it in action—and Jeff lives for that moment!
Before Highline, Jeff spent 18 years as a contractor for Charter/Spectrum, tackling installs and construction gigs that kept him on the road, far from home. Landing this gig meant a triumphant return to his roots—right where he was born and raised. “It’s awesome to be back home,” Jeff says, and we’re just as pumped to have him! He raves about Highline’s vibe and tight-knit crew, plus the unbeatable internet we deliver. “Once customers try us, they’re hooked for life,” he says. At his own place, Highline’s service is a game-changer, letting his wife work from home with ease. Jeff gets it—he grew up wrestling with spotty internet for schoolwork, so he’s all about making sure today’s kids (and adults!) don’t have to.
Jeff’s coworkers would like to add:
“Jeff is an outstanding coworker, always on time, and ready to help anyone that needs it!”
“Always willing to go above and beyond for customers’ expectations.”
“He is one of the best installers we have and always receives great reviews from customers.”
Pardon our Mess
While we operate within easements, Highline understands that homeowners take pride in caring for that area. We do ask for a bit of forgiveness as we lay this monumental infrastructure, but we are also committed to fixing issues residents have with the easement area on their property. Crews are performing real-time restorations on areas that are completed and clean-up crews will come around to areas that were missed due to unforeseen circumstances.
If residents have an urgent safety concern about a construction mess from our fiber build, please call 888-212-0054
