🎉 HIGH ATTENDANCE DAY SUCCESS! 🐉

Our Green Dragons showed up in a BIG way for High Attendance Day! Harlan Independent Schools achieved an incredible 98.63% district-wide attendance rate!

Even more impressive, SEVEN grade levels achieved 100% attendance:
🐉 Kindergarten
🐉 1st Grade
🐉 2nd Grade
🐉 3rd Grade
🐉 4th Grade
🐉 7th Grade
🐉 10th Grade

And the great news doesn’t stop there — every grade level across the district reached at least 94% attendance!

We are also proud of the outstanding attendance across each of our schools:
🏆 Harlan Elementary – 1st Place
🥈 Harlan Middle – 2nd Place
🥉 Harlan High – 3rd Place

Great attendance doesn’t happen by accident. It takes students who are ready to learn, families who make being at school a priority, and teachers and staff who create schools where students feel welcomed, supported, and excited to be each day.

Thank you to our students, families, faculty, and staff for making High Attendance Day such a tremendous success!

Every day matters. Every Dragon matters. 💚🐉
