Mrs. Goss's third graders concluded their historical fiction unit by researching the Titanic. Students worked through each stage of the writing process —researching, writing, and revising —and are now finishing their published pieces. We are so proud of their hard work!

Harlan Elementary would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Harlan City Police Department for providing ten of our students the opportunity to participate in Shop With a Cop. This generous act of service brings tremendous joy to our students, ensuring they experience the excitement and support of the holiday season. We are grateful for the officers’ kindness, their commitment to building positive relationships with our children, and their continued dedication to our community. Thank you for making such a meaningful impact on our students and their families.
