Time is running out to submit your application for Harmel's incoming Fall 2026 class. It's go time, guys. www.harmelacademy.org/application
Spring days at Harmel mean open fab lab and go karts as the teams prep for the annual end-of-year endurance race.
This is what an integrated curriculum looks like. On May 3rd we’ll be out in a cornfield north of town, where we’ve carved out a humble track. Most laps in 24 minutes wins. The catch is, karts affix balloons to the back of the rig, mount paintball guns to the passenger side, and if you lose all your balloons you must pit to restock before your laps count again.

Earlier in the week, the guys broke uniform code, but still dressed all alike. “Dress like Joseph” day paid tribute to Foundations student and flannel connoisseur, Joe Pope. A classic style, fellas.
