We would like to share some exciting announcements and highlights from the high school over the past few weeks. Firstly, we are excited to announce the launch of the Harlan High School Financial Management Entrepreneurial Project - Harlan Dragon’s Kitchen, which provides students with hands-on experience in financial planning and entrepreneurship. We are grateful for the support of our local businesses, including Cash Saver, Don's Super Saver, Southern Wholesale, Customs by V T-shirts, and Shirt Shack. Their contributions make a significant difference in our students' learning journey. We would also like to thank Kyle Wilson with BoomKY for their guidance and support throughout this endeavor. In light of recent successes, we have been able to offer lunch to the hardworking Harlan Independent School Staff on 3 separate occasions, thanks to the dedication and efforts of our students. As we continue to strive for excellence, we want to express our sincerest gratitude for your continued partnership and support. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for being a part of the Harlan High School community. 🐉

The individual future problem-solving (FPS) competition was also held during this time, and the results of that competition were recently released. We are so proud that Miranda Brock placed fifth in the state in the individual FPS competition! This is an accomplishment that only a small percentage of competitors ever achieve. The FPS team is coached by Mrs. Pat Bryson. We are beyond proud of you, Miranda! #GoBigGreen
