Harlan Independent Schools is gathering information from students, families, educators and community members to support our work in developing a district Portrait of a Learner. Built on a strong tradition of academic success, this effort will help guide how we prepare Harlan students—not just for graduation, but for life beyond our classrooms. The Portrait of a Learner will define the skills, mindsets, and experiences we believe every Dragon should develop to be confident, capable, and future-ready.
Your voice matters in this process. We invite you to take a few moments to complete this short survey and help shape the future of Harlan Independent Schools. The survey will be open through January 7th.

🎉Dragon Attendance Incentive Winner!🐉
This year, Harlan Independent Schools rolled out a brand-new attendance incentive to celebrate students who show up and give their best every single day!
Each week that a student has perfect attendance — meaning no check-ins late and no early checkouts — they earn a ticket for a chance to win a district prize at the end of the nine weeks. That means a student can earn up to nine chances per quarter! As part of the incentive, students must be present the day of the drawing to claim their prize.
👏Congratulations to this nine-weeks winner, Dallis Craycraft! Your dedication and commitment to being present each day truly make you a role model for your fellow Dragons.
💚A special thank you goes out to our community partner and generous prize donor, Anderson-Laws & Jones Funeral Home, for supporting our students and helping us celebrate the importance of attendance!
