As much as we would all enjoy an extra day off in April we will have school tomorrow so we don’t have to make it up at the end of May. Remember, the Harlan Independent School District will be on a regular schedule for Friday, April 25th. Again, we will be on a regular schedule for Friday, April 25th.
