Harlan High School's freshman class experienced the long-standing tradition of attending Challenge Day at Pine Mountain Settlement School! The Class of 2030 participated in team-building activities to understand the importance of working together, communication, setting goals, and having positive attitudes. Our freshmen are ready for a great year ahead! The program was sponsored by FRYSC and the Harlan County Conservation District.

🌅 Senior Sunrise 2026! 🐉

Friday morning was a special one at Harlan High School as many of our seniors gathered together for Senior Sunrise at the HHS baseball field! 🌅

There’s something special about watching this class grow closer and make memories together. From the laughs and conversations to simply enjoying being together, our seniors are showing just how strong their class bond has become.

Senior year is flying by, and this group is making sure to make the most of it!

Here’s to making this a senior year to remember! 🎓✨

Enjoy the moments, seniors—they go by way too fast! 🐉

We would also like to thank Huddle House for being so good to our Dragons. 💚
