💚Harlan Elementary School would like to welcome Mrs. Whitney Creech! Mrs. Creech will be the 21st Century Coordinator at Harlan Elementary School.
Hello Dragon Family! It is a complete honor to be a part of such a wonderful family of students, parents and staff. My prior experience will allow me to excel in this position and bring some exciting things to our students. Currently, I am completing my Master’s degree in MAT at the University of the Cumberlands. I am so eager to work with each of you and help make this new school year a huge success! I have two children Collin and Karsyn. Collin will be in Kindergarten here at Harlan and it truly is a dream come true to be able to work in the same building. My husband Jonathan is a graduate of HHS. To be able to give back to a community that has already done so much for members of my family is a blessing. I am excited for my future at Harlan Independent Schools and look forward to meeting all those smiling faces! 🐉 #Morethanaschool
