Congratulations to Harlan High School junior Jaxson Perry on his participation in this summer's Rogers Scholars Program!
Jaxson represented Harlan High School with excellence, demonstrating the leadership, character, and dedication that make our Green Dragons proud. Reflecting on his experience, Jaxson shared:
"The Roger’s Scholars Program not only strengthened my leadership skills, but also improved my ability to engage with others to create meaningful relationships. The experiences and connections I gained through this program will leave a lasting impact on me in the years to come."
We are incredibly proud of Jaxson for embracing this opportunity, growing as a leader, and representing Harlan High School so well. We can't wait to see the positive impact he continues to make in our school, our community, and beyond.
Congratulations, Jaxson! 🐉 #GoBigGreen #RogersScholars

Harlan Independent High School students were invited to the 2026 SESC's Summer Spark this year. Several students (Addy Davis, Elizabeth Ball, Addison Lemar, & Bella Wagers) volunteered to showcase the brilliant young minds at Harlan High School and present a few innovative business ideas, creative solutions, and inspiring projects. This is just the tip of the iceberg for these amazing students. Stay tuned and be inspired by the next generation of innovators!
🏈 This week's schedule for 3rd/4th grade football! See you there! 🐉
