Is 63 considered a high hdl?

Yes: HDL greater than 45 mg/dl is normal. The higher , the better as this is the "good cholesterol" and for every 1 mg/dl increase in value your risk of an adverse cardiovascular outcome decreases by 3%.

Good HDL.: That's a good HDL value. Cardio-protective. Keep it up with cardiovascular exercise, fish oil supplements or fish-rich diet.
