Harrison Schools is enjoying a productive day connecting with future educators at College of the Ozarks, and we are especially pleased to introduce a future member of the Goblin team!

We are excited to announce that McKenzie Garrison will be joining Harrison High School this fall to complete her student teaching before graduation. A native of neighboring Valley Springs, McKenzie is already familiar with the spirit of our Boone County community, and we are delighted to have her in our halls.

She will be working within the Social Studies department alongside Mrs. Kyndall Jenkins to gain valuable classroom experience before her graduation this December.

It is always a privilege to see local talent stay in the Ozarks to begin their professional journey. Please join us in welcoming McKenzie to Harrison! 💙💛

Kindergarten Registration- April 8

We have received some questions regarding the recent March primary election and school millage issues on the ballot. Article 14 section 3 of the Arkansas constitution requires all school districts to vote on their millage rate every year no matter if there is an increase or not. In the March 2026 primary election, the Harrison School District did not ask voters for an increase; we merely met the letter of the law by placing the millage on the election ballot.

In the March primary ballot language, voters had the freedom to choose either option of "Yes" or "No". If the “no” votes are the majority, the millage rate for the district remains the same. If the “yes” votes are in the majority, the millage rate for the district remains the same.. As always, if you have any questions or would like further clarification of millage ballot language please reach out.

The last millage increase for Harrison Public Schools was September 16, 2014. The increase brought the millage rate from 34.3 mills to 39.2 mills for construction additions to Harrison Middle School and Harrison High School.
In the March 2026 primary election, four of the Boone County Districts (Valley Springs, Harrison, Omaha, and Alpena) did not ask for a millage increase. The Bergman School District asked for a 2 mill increase to provide storm or safety shelters for their students.

If, and when, the Harrison district determines a millage increase is needed, there will be community meetings and significant communication to ensure the highest levels of transparency with all our patrons.

If you wish to know more about Harrison School District millage or finances, I am more than happy to meet with you on our use of tax payers funds.

Thank you,
Stewart Pratt, Superintendent

It takes a lot of hard work behind the scenes to host an event as large as the Chamber Annual Meeting, and our students were up to the task!

A huge shoutout to the Harrison High School FBLA and Business students who stepped up to serve at today’s event at Signature Tower. These students worked hard throughout the program, serving the meal and ensuring everything stayed running smoothly by bussing tables for hundreds of guests.

We are so proud of the work ethic and professionalism these Goblins displayed today. They represented Harrison Schools with a "service first" attitude in front of our entire business community!

Way to go, team!

During today’s Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce' Annual Meeting, Harrison Middle School teacher Stephanie Benton was awarded the Jerry McFarland Outstanding Youth/Youth Organization Award. This honor specifically highlights her incredible leadership of the student-led "Homegrown Stories" project. This initiative is a shining example of real-world learning. Under Stephanie’s guidance, students interviewed local farmers, authored, and published their first book, Farmer Jack and the Never Ending Puzzle. The project has been such a success that it was recently selected to be presented at the National Ag in the Classroom Conference in Rhode Island! We are so proud of Stephanie for empowering our students to become authors, historians, and community ambassadors. Please join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved recognition!

The Harrison High School Chamber Singers brought a powerful sense of tradition and talent to today’s Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting.

Standing right in the center of the action at Signature Tower, our talented student vocalists—under the direction of Molly Magouyrk—delivered a truly beautiful and moving performance of the National Anthem.

It was a proud moment for Harrison Schools to have our students’ voices fill the room, performing for an audience that included many state and local dignitaries. We are so impressed by the poise and professionalism these singers displayed in representing our district on such a prominent stage today!

Way to go, Chamber Singers!

Today's Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting at Signature Tower kicked off with a truly special moment as a delightful group of Harrison Preschool students led the room in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Standing tall alongside the Arkansas National Guard Color Guard, these students reminded us all why the future of Harrison is so bright. We are so proud of our youngest learners for representing Harrison Schools with such poise and heart in front of our local business community!

Thank you to the Chamber for featuring our students so prominently in this year’s program.

Happy Gifted and Talented Awareness Week!

Since 2019, the last full week of February has been designated as Gifted and Talented Awareness Week in Arkansas. Here at Harrison Schools, we are proud to celebrate our students' high potential and the specialized learning opportunities that help them thrive!

Our GT classrooms have been buzzing with activity this month:

Elementary (4th-6th): Students are wrapping up independent research projects, diving into agricultural units on global climates, and preparing for upcoming Quiz Bowl and Chess tournaments!

Middle & High School: Students are exploring "Curiosity Units"—becoming the teachers themselves—and capturing the world through photography and creative artwork.

Our dedicated gifted and talented team is committed to providing "qualitatively differentiated" experiences that challenge our students' intellectual, creative, and motivational abilities every single day.

Stay tuned all week as we share more about this program and the amazing work of our Harrison Goblins!
