Harrison High School

As we settle into our summer schedules it's a great time to reflect on some of the amazing things that happened at our school during the last school year. One of our most celebrated moments on social media was continuing this tradition... Our senior football players surprised a staff member who has deeply impacted them by gifting their jerseys as a heartfelt thank-you for their last football game of the season. Moments like this show the power of connection, gratitude, and the lasting influence of caring adults in our students’ lives.

Attention current 7th graders moving into 8th grade and current 8th graders moving into 9th grade who may be interested in participating in a summer Girls Basketball program starting May 25th...

We are excited to introduce students to our new Harrison High School Girls Basketball Coach, Jeff Hampton! The program he is building offers a great opportunity for students to develop their skills, build confidence, and start connecting with the high school basketball program early. We would love to encourage as many girls as possible to take advantage of this opportunity as they prepare for the upcoming season and future years.

Thank you to former NFL Star Alfred Williams for coming to speak to our coaches who lead student-athletes at our D2 schools. He played linebacker and defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, San Francisco 49ers, and Denver Broncos, winning two Super Bowls with the Broncos. He shared how coaches inspired him and some of the strategies he believes made a difference. We appreciate him spending time with us.

Mr. Vargas was one happy principal to see a Broncos Super Bowl Champ on campus!

At D2 we have school leaders who know their students, care deeply about them, and celebrate their success. We are grateful for principals who show up for kids every day, not just at graduation, but throughout their entire journey.

This is the care we believe every student deserves, and we have the right leaders to deliver on it.

Come build meaningful relationships and help the student in your life to start their journey at one of our D2 schools. We have opportunities on campus and online for your student.
