I don't think you can highlight, but you can bold parts of the text and/or change the font color.

I like to change the 1st line of my note to a larger font, bolded, and in red.

Evernote is working on adding this feature. See this forum post:

For now, there is a workaround:

1. Select the text you want to highlight.

2. Make the Fonts palette appear by either pressing the Fonts button at the top of a clipping or by selecting the menu item Format > Show Fonts or by pressing ⌘T.

3. Click on the 'Document Color' box in the Fonts palette. (It's the fourth box from the left at the top of the palette.) A Colors palette will appear.

4. Choose the highlight color you want. The selected text's background will change to the chosen color.

Couldn't get the workaround to work. The option doesn't seem to present itself on a PC. I'm working off v.3.5.2.

A highlight feature is key, especially when working off notes regularly.
