This morning, HHS Arena was filled with laughter, delicious aromas, and the bright futures of our 2026 graduating seniors! Senior parents hosted the annual Senior Breakfast, and it was a great success.
THANK YOU to all the parents who planned, decorated, cooked, and donated to make this morning so special. You made sure our seniors started their final countdown with full bellies and happy hearts. #GoGobs!

Behind Every Healthy Student is a School Lunch Hero!
At Harrison School District, we know that a hungry mind can’t learn. That’s why we are taking the time to celebrate our incredible cafeteria staff—the true heroes of our hallways!
From the crack of dawn to the final bell, our food service team works tirelessly to prepare nutritious meals that fuel our students' success. But they provide more than just food; they provide a warm greeting, a friendly smile, and a caring environment for every child who walks through the line.
Please join us in saying a huge THANK YOU to our dedicated food service professionals. We are so grateful for the heart and hard work you put into every tray!

And so it begins!
The Class of 2026 has filled Goblin Arena for graduation practice this morning.
Before the "Senior Walk" buses head out and the final goodbyes are said in the classrooms, our seniors are gathered here at home base, getting ready for the big stage on May 17.
There is a lot of laughter, plenty of "how do I wear this cap?" moments, and a whole lot of Goblin Pride in the room this morning.
Today is all about celebrating the journey. Stay tuned as we follow our Seniors throughout the day for their final walk across the district!

April is National Occupational Therapy (OT) Month, and while the month is drawing to a close, the impact of our district’s occupational therapists is felt year-round! Established by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) in 1980, this annual celebration recognizes the vital role OT practitioners play in helping people of all ages regain independence, improve their quality of life, and engage in meaningful daily activities.
The 2026 theme, "Enriching Lives Through Meaningful Engagement," perfectly captures the work of our dedicated team. We are proud to partner with Ashley Dewey, OT; Ramona Sanders, OT; and Paige Treadwell, OTA, who work tirelessly to support our students.
“Our district occupational therapists play a vital role in helping students develop the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom,” says Amber Likes, Director of Special Services. “We are grateful for their dedication, compassion, and expertise, and we deeply appreciate the positive impact they make in the lives of our students every day.”
Please join us in giving a huge shoutout to Ashley, Ramona, and Paige for all they do for Harrison Schools!

Just "Clouding" Around at Harrison Preschool! ☁️
Our little explorers have been looking up! Harrison Preschool hallways are currently filled with some serious imagination (and a little bit of fluffy foam).
Inspired by the classic "what do you see in the clouds?" game, our students created their own sky-high masterpieces and shared what they saw. We’ve got bears and duckies and cakes and dino footprints and more!
It's fun to see the world through their eyes. Which one is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
Harrison Preschool families - if you see your little one’s masterpiece in the gallery below, feel free to tag yourself or drop a heart in the comments to show your support!

Use the following link to let us know your interest in the program, how we are doing, and how we can improve. We appreciate each of you!

Harrison School District will be reapplying for the Nita M. Lowey The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grant for programs located at Harrison Middle School to serve students in grades 5-12 as well as a program located at Skyline Heights Elementary school to serve all 1-4 Skyline elementary students and some Kindergarten throughout the district. Forest Heights Elementary will still be serving elementary students from Forest and Kindergarten as they are on a different grant cycle.
This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and
offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
