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.
