🎉 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, Hunter Brock! 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, the Boys & Girls Club of Appalachia, for supporting our students and helping us celebrate the importance of attendance!

On Friday, our students, staff, and community had the special privilege of welcoming Senator Scott Madon to Harlan Independent School District. His visit was both inspiring and encouraging—a wonderful reminder of how powerful it is when leaders invest time in the next generation.
Throughout the day, Senator Madon joined families for the HES Grandparents Breakfast, toured classrooms to see students actively engaged in learning and leading their own projects, participated in the District Cancer Walk, and spoke to classes about public service, civic engagement, and leadership. He also spent meaningful time with teachers and staff, celebrating successes, listening to their experiences, and hearing firsthand about the opportunities and challenges in education today.
Thank you, Senator Madon, for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit Harlan Elementary, Harlan Middle, and Harlan High School. Most of all, thank you for encouraging our future leaders and showing how much you care about education and community. 💚🐉
