Happy INDEPENDENCE day from the Harlan Independent School District.
🐉🐉🐉 Please join us in welcoming the newest addition to Harlan Middle School, Sara Waller! Sara will be joining HMS this year as an ELA Teacher.
"My name is Sara Waller and I am so thrilled to join the Harlan Independent community as an ELA teacher this fall. I am originally from Mt. Juliet, TN but I graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, GA with my degree in English Literature back in 2022. I am so passionate about teaching kids the power of reading and writing, which are skills they will take with them wherever they go in life! I have been teaching summer school in Knott County the past few weeks and have heard nothing but the best things about this school district. I could not be more excited to meet you all and be a part of this wonderful community!"
Harlan Independent School District would like to continue to ask our Dragon family to remember Timothy's family today. 💚
🏃 🐉 Any student in grades 5-12 interested in running Cross Country for the 2023-2024 school year should plan to attend an informational meeting at the HHS football field tonight at 6:00 PM. If you want to run but can’t attend the meeting please let Coach Lindsey know.

No words can truly describe how much Timothy meant to so many. We all mourn this tragic loss and send our prayers to his family and friends on this terrible night.
