Harlan Independent Schools

Christmas Bazaar 🎄 was a huge success! Words from Marilyn Schraeder could not explain it any better: “I’d like to thank everyone who came out to the Village Center Mall last night for the Musettes Christmas Bazaar and Christmas Tree Lighting. We sold out of practically everything, so we will not be at the mall today! I was so proud of each choir that performed: the Elementary Choir, directed by Jeremy Bell, the Middle School Choir, Boys Choir and Musettes. Mrs. Clara Atkins-Pope is the Assistant-Director and Accompanist for each of the 4 choirs. Harlan Elementary Dance Team performed, Katlyn Williams is their coach. So thankful for Terry Harris & Tom Pope for setting up and taking down the piano & sound system.”

🐉 Congratulations to the HHS Academic Team for their wins over Middlesboro! Great job, Green Dragons! #gobiggreen
